No, just whirring and vibration as I speed up.
Have I spun my diff housing?

Was it equal on both sides? I don’t think I’ve seen both tubes spin the same amount before.

Yeah, it was exactly 1” between the end of the threads on the johnny joint to the end of the tube, exactly, on both sides.

I was finally able to work on this again last night. I’m still very much at a loss of how the angle went off so much like it did. Checked the housing and I couldn’t see any obvious signs that it spun. Got the driveshaft and pinion inline at 7 degrees. The angles of the control arms don’t look any different than they were but I don’t know that for sure. I’m not getting the excessive vibration I was getting, which is awesome. The low “wurrring” is still there at high speed, though, which I’m guessing is the pinion bearings, or maybe a compromised ujoint. However, I just had the drive shaft checked so I doubt it’s a bad ujoint. So next stop is to the gear shop for a checkup. Wish I lived closer to @Disciple Off Road! 
Thanks everyone for the assistance!

Yea definitely a weird situation, you have a lot of miles on those gears? I stand by my semi float 60 comment btwI was finally able to work on this again last night.
