What type of lift (manufacture) do you have. It sounds like the drive shaft angle may be off. Did you install the lift? I've seen shops cut corners on lifting the rear of trucks resulting in the drive shaft angle being off. As far as tires rubbing on one side and not on the other believe it or not thats not uncommon. Don't worry about it. My '05 Z-71 with 6" lift and 35's has been that way since '05 when I lifted the truck. One other thing. If your truck has full time 4x4 some lift kits require a new front drive shaft with a extra CV joint for speeds over 40mph.

I forgot, have you checked your U-joints?

If you can go under your truck and look at the back of the transfer case, theres a round plate with the transfer case model #. As I mentioned before some manufactures require a modified/new front drive shaft with the full time 4x4's.

I looked back at some of my notes and your truck (I assume its a 1500) does not need a new drive shaft with your lift. Some of the manufactures lift kits need a modified driveshaft if they have Autotrac, but the Fabtech kit doesn't.
