Lets Talk CV's and I dont mean angles!

Ok so I have a 3 in level kit and i am fully aware it is killing my front end! But i am getting a really really weird sound out of my cvs.... ill explain the best i can

This sound only kicks in between 5 and 55miles an hour and does not stop untill i bring the truck to a complete stop

now ill try to explain the sound. Its kinda like a grinding sound as if the gears on the cv are trying to mesh but only touching the tips of the teeth of the gears and then when bringing it to a stop the sound follows the speed of the truck and from 5-0 mph its starts to ( i would say disingauge) and finally does like a clunk noise like it broke loose.

But stranger still since i do think its the cv's when the sound is doing its think and i kick the 4wheele drive in nothing happens as far as the sound.... like the light comes on the 4 wheele drive kicks in and thats it sound still humming along.

Now I have been running this 3in level for about 8k and the last 1k is when its started. I do think that the sound is in direct corrilation with the level kit and asap will be switching to a 6in bds lift kit

Has anyone ever had this problem? My only worry is that maybe i might have a modual problem that controls the vacume pressure for the 4 wheele drive
