Did you change any of the bearings or races or accidently mix the bearings from left and right, just throwing out more thoughts here. I would be inclined to shim the original set-up to get the free play you want. I'm working on a similar truck but haven't done the fronts yet, rear left spindle nuts are right hand thread but the Bud wheel nuts are left hand.
