Front wheels don't spin free when jacked up

[MyBlueRanger]

I'm new to the Tremor and really like it so far. I have a question I can't seem to find the answer to. I was rotating my tires today and noticed the front tires are really hard to spin when jacked up. I'm coming from a solid axel on a 3/4 ton truck so it doesn't feel right to me. Is this normal with CV joints or should I be looking for something? It only has about 31k miles.

I thought about that but all the original pads look great.

hmmm well 18 isnt bad for a 4x4 truck. mines getting 19 now that i put on bigger tires that are mud terrains. they cut my mpg about 2 mpg lol. so maybe nothing is wrong with yours.

That's what I get...are the other 3 wheels touching the ground when you do this?

Yes, the other 3 tires are on the ground. Both front tires act the same, very stiff instead of free. Again, maybe that's normal for this setup? I just don't know.

We need a diff expert here...

Is the trans in neutral? or park?

 

[MyBlueRanger]

Transmission is in park.

Im not certain or expert at all but i think - think - the front is like a limited slip style. where the wheels can roll separate of each other but when one is on the ground and planted it might be making the free wheel hard to spin. If you turn the free wheel far enough the diff may "catch" and stop turning unless the wheel on the ground is lifted in the air and free? Again - just throwing ideas out.
