I would agree with DUB, is the prop shaft tight? If that CV goes, that could be an issue as well. If it is rubbing the exhaust, are your exhaust hangars good? Perhaps the exhaust moved, not the driveline?

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

well I checked the axle brackets and everything appears to be pretty solid down there. The exhaust is only a few inches from the header so there's no play there at all. and the prop shaft bolts are tight too.
nothing seems to be loose down there but clearly the shaft is moving vertically. I'm thinking that possibly the entire diff is rotating about the axle shaft when under torsional stress, causing the back end and prop shaft to sit higher, but this is a guess. tomorrow I'm going to try to recreate the issue and watch what happens when the tires are lifted off the ground.
What I'm struggling with is, why is there all the tension and whats causing it? is it stuck partly in 4 lo or something?

Did you put the trans in neutral, before shifting to 4-hi?...
