I have a 3.5 inch lift and 35's. Haven't done more than 2k miles all highway with the man tires. I'm now getting a metallic sound and vibration coming off the front end somewhere. Could this be a bad u joint or worse?
It's a 2010 2 door BTW

Could be u-joints, but I would look at your driveshaft also.

 

May be more to it then the U joint if your are getting sqeeling and vibration while in 2wd. May be a little aggressive on your driveshaft angles in the front since u joint lasted 2000 miles.
lots of options. What are you running now? There are off set u joints that will allow a little more driveshaft angle without binding which may be the less $$ approach to start trouble shooting if you're not running them already.

 

Well I had the cv replaced and the shaft remanufactured about 6 months ago. It shouldn't be bad already. What about wheel bearings?

Its hard telling with a little info.

 

I honestly don't have much to give. It's obviously rotational and happens after a right turn the most

What the hell could have caused this?

Your 3.5" lift

 

I have only done highway driving and that's only been on for 3 months. How could the lift tear something that is a straight line

That's your front driveshaft? You have an automatic? You have a 3.5" lift? That little avatar pic is you on the freeway? Or it's you offroad flexing a bit?

It is far from uncommon for lifted auto's to have front driveshaft contact on the corner of the tranny pan.
