Pulled off my rear driveshaft and found this...
Big ol chip in the transmission/transfercase side nut there.
Should I be concerned? I was removing it to diagnose the gear chatter issue I have been experiencing, chatter went away when I removed rear drive shaft btw, looks like need a CV driveshaft/shim up the pinion

I think that's actually normal - for those bolts/nuts, after you torque it to spec, you tap with a hammer/chisel to really secure it on there so it doesn't back off.
I could be wrong but I've seen that before.

Diff is good, checked the oil today and had it all apart in the last 6 months.
I lifted it 2.5 inches with the OME suspenion lift and this problem started, I have a feeling its something with the driveline angle. I have heard I need a CV driveshaft or to shim something up??

You may need shims between the leaves and the axle, to make the diff/pinion line up with the output from the tranny. I heard recently it's 1 degree of shim for every inch over stock you lift the rear.....
4crawler here sells shims - maybe reach out to him?
good luck!
PS - maybe it was whatever you were doing to the diff when you had it "all apart"? Just sayin
