Had the same seal leak on mine when I bought it. Pics in my build thread showing it with the cv out. Pretty easy repair actually.

I'll respond with my results as I go. I was gonna take the lift off today but timing isn't working out so well so I'm guessing next week will when I get to it.

Make sure your tires are all the same size AND wear AND pressure. When I put my 3"lift in I had some pretty bad vibration in 4wd that felt like binding. Noticed one of the front tires was much more worn out than the others. After getting the new tires, no more vibration/binding!! It doesn't take much difference in rolling radius to create the vibration on medium to high traction roads... Especially with the lift. Just another thought.

An alignment should fix that vibration issue. It does feel like binding
