i would not do blocks as they can be sketchy and cause axle wrap. try a lift shackle from autozone. try the u joints first and see if that does the trick

Have you tried looking at your lefthand upper control arm mount??? Maybe it's cracked, loose, or the bushing is shot??? That's about in the area you mention. Just a thought......

I know that is but that wouldn't be causing the loss smoothness during hard acceration or hitting the passing gear along with the binding slash nailgun hitting the floor and it would have done it when I pulled both shafts out and put it in gear n punched it it was smooth when I did that so idk

you have factory front axle correct vacuum system on passenger side? possible shift fork not disengageing in axle housing causing front axle to stay engaged....even with tc in neutral...removing axles would not be turning internals...
