If he didn't install a shift extension it might cause that. I know it makes more noise after the lift but it shouldn't be grinding.

I drove that truck last night. The truck is falling apart. Dont get it. Seriously. Shifter is messed up. Syncros are junk. Rear end is howling. 2 different sets of tires. Salvage title. everybody panel needs work.
