Default Rear Diff Howling

I just added a 2" shackle to my otherwise stock rear end and am noticing a howling noise coming from the diff at around 30-40mph. Its a 29 spline 8.25. Doesn't feel or sound like its grinding, its just louder than normal. Anything to worry about?

Could be showing a worn U joint.

Maybe a bad bearing somewhere. My pinion bearing is bad, and it howls
