Default Rear end noise after lift... (i think)
So after my three inch lift i started hearing this weird noise coming from the rear i think, it only happens when im going about 30+ but only when i let of the gas and coast, sounds like the noise that your tires make when you go off the edge of the highway where it has those bumps that hum?

mine did the same thing every time i let off the gas. its because the drive shaft is too far out I believe. I got a SYE and CV driveshaft and I no longer have that problem.

My guess would be brakes dragging then. Do you notice a pull to one side when you stop?

If that's the problem will it hurt to drive it like it is?
