No. Loud Bang! axle blew out.

No description of a noise in your first post. The bang could be from the sway bar end links. They are know for popping and with a 3" lift it wouldn't surprise me.

Edit: when axles go bad, they sound like a card in your bicycle wheel while turning.

It was a loud bang when pulling into my driveway. It was definitely the axle.And yes when backing up afterwards and trying to drive. It was the "card in bicycle sound" Axle has been replaced and it is fine now. But i think i may have to tone down the lift to risk the issue in the future.

All of that information would have been helpful in your first post. It was implied this just happened tonight.

Look at the 37s on a 35 thread. 3" collars are not needed.

Post pictures of your truck to avoid future prius comments. It's a way we welcome new members. And if you were engaged at all over the last year, let alone the 4 you have been here you should have caught onto that.

This Thread is why I hang out in the Gen2 section most the time.

We might be Neanderthals but geeze we ain't retarded.

Op, lifts a Raptor (just typing that hurts) 3 inches to clear 37's when the factory suspension already clears 37's. Re-****--Ed

20" wheels on a Raptor. More Re-****-ation

OP then breaks an axle (probably pulled out of diff or separated a joint) and is embarrassed that his new ride had to be towed out of his driveway, not grasping it is own fault, even more of the old RE-*****edness.

Then he comes and asks, if any of us will admit to being as stupid.

Got to love dumb. It is entertaining.
