This is why you dont use aluminum lift blocks.
A few months ago i bought a 87 XJ from a buddy of mine, a few years back he lifted it and used 2" aluminum lift blocks in the rear. Once i got it driving again i noticed a lot of vibration in the rear end. My pinion angle was about 16 degrees off from my t-case. Upon investigating i pulled off the blocks and found them a bit smashed with the center pin seared off.
