yes I did so checked the wheels with it in the air and the pass side has a lot of play on the axel . I can move it in and out with no problem. also the yoke at the rear end and the driveshaft has a good bit of play side to side. so do I need to replace the whole rear end or what . im tight on money so the best but the cheapest way what would it be???? its just a work truck to get me to work and back realy but I use it to do other jobs also

When you replaced the u joints one or more of the bearings may have shifted and fell in the cap when you attempt to knock the u joint into the driveshaft or slip yoke. You may have to take it back off and retry cautiously.

I have a 1992 k2500 Cheyenne pickup that was doing the same thing. I changed the wheels thinking my aftermarkets were not able to be balanced well and went back to stock. No change. I pulled driveshaft as it feels like a drive line vibration and only happened on takeoff and at 55+mph. I changed the new u-joints on the drive shaft thinking the same issue recommended, that some of the bearings had fallen. Low and behold, they had not bUt I carefully installed the new joints I just bought. Now my vibration is different, it doesn't have it at takeoff anymore but it does have a slight notice when I get ready to press clutch before shift and over 55mph on 4th and over 60 on OD. What next?

Bent or out of balance driveline ..axle wheelbearing fixing to start grinding .. .. 15 year owner 97 Z71 offroad .. that is ur issue n will continue until perfect alignment n the driveline .. lmao
