Driveshaft fell out today

so after having a little accident while putting my 3" blocks in i've noticed a vibration when i get up to speed like 40mph-70 and every day it's gotten worst and worst and i couldn't figure out what it was until today. i was leaving school when i heard a loud pop followed by a massive vibration and my rpm's went up with my truck going no where. I got out and looked under the truck to find my driveshaft hanging there.





:/ bad U joint

That thing has been bad for a long time, look at how the unbroken side looks. All your lift did was put the final nail in the coffin.

well probably, when we put in my blocks we had the truck on a slanted driveway(first mistake) and when we tried to move the axle to line up the pins the truck leaned forward and fell completely off the jack stands and landed on the diff
