Yal, no its not lifted, its completely stock, Tone...they did remove the drive shafts and it the noise did go away which is why they thought it was the transfer case and replaced it.

Its been in the shop for the last week while i was in San Francisco on vacation (what a cool place) so i feel very relaxed right now!! i'm just waiting to hear what happened from the shop manager .......will know more later!
