DRIVESHAFT SUPPORT BEARING DAMAGE?

[NonHyphenated American]

A few months back I installed .75 spacers in the rear. I had the rear end dropped as far as I could almost to the point of stretching the brake lines. Just recently I noticed when I am on a long(ish) gradual stop, almost to the point of riding the brakes, at low speeds just as the vehicle comes to a complete stop there is a very very slight lunge. It doesn't lunge all the time and it does not do it with a harder and quicker stop. When I let my foot off the brake sometimes, mostly after the lunge, if feels as if the driveline has to take up slack and then the vehicle goes forward with no delay. No feel of slack take up when I press the gas immediately. There are no loud bangs or clunks with either the lunge or slack take up. This is either something new or I just never noticed it before. Is it possible dropping the axle as low as I could maybe did damage to the driveshaft support bearing? I have no vibrations at any speed. I haven't had the time to get under the vehicle to inspect the bearing. What should I be looking for, that would indicate damage?

Could your lunge be described as a surge? Gas or diesel?

Gas, it could be considered a surge. I just recently got a TSB for a drivetrain computer flash, but I already had a flash in December.

Don't think it's your bearing carrier. That would create vibration/ noise. ¾" isn't going to throw off the geometry either.

Maybe transmission/ torque converter, or fuel issue.
