??? After Lifting
Ok wasn’t going to bother you all but hear I go anyway. Just did a 3.5” RE lift with 31’s. Everything seems fine and I don’t have DW because as I have read you know for sure you have it. My question is when I accelerate or decelerate I get a small amount of play, spinning or slip feel in the pedal/drive shaft (no real other way to describe it ) what could the problem be? Like I said everything runs good it’s aligned and there isn’t any big vibration or shacking just what I described above. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Make sure the u bolts on the rear axle are tight. Regardless of how tight you torque them initially, they will stretch. I've tightened mine a few times since I lifted. That solved my "play" in the rear end. You may or may not have the same problem. Check it out!
