Default Flex Problem

If I lift up the drivers side rear it works fine but if I lift up the passangers side rear it is extremely stiff.

Here is a pic if it helps any.

If I compress the entire rear axle it moves fairly easy, same with the driver's side, but when I compress the passangers side alone it is stiff.

Is your driveshaft binding? Is the slip too long? Does it bind with the links?

double check valving and spring rates.

I think I figured out what is causing it. When I flex the passenger side the axle moves towards that side and the other shock has to flex. What is causing the axle to move towards that side.

move your shocks on the outside of the chassis and put spacers on them.

If I move the shocks to the outside then they would be angling out. How they are mounted now they are straight with chassis.
