It is possible that you damaged the brakes and they are dragging, possibly damaged the hubs and they are dragging, possibly damaged something that is now dragging and creating resistance. Do you feel a power loss? Does it seem sluggish?

Brakes are a possibility. When coasting down the road does it feel like it drags a bit, like the E-brake is on? I was also thinking maybe a cat issue. I went wheeling once and hit a hole really hard and it broke something loose in my cat and my Jeep was pretty gutless until I replaced it. Of course usually when that happens you will smell it.

I hate it when crap like that happens! Just the other day I gave a tree a hand job while flipping a uterus with one foot in the goo....
