.100" drop is less than what we typically run on an 8wd with colson wheels. Please post up your drive configuration with dimensions so we can properly help you. Scrub is absolutely a factor in your problems, be it due to some deflection in the shafts, the c-c distance between your contact wheels, your gear ratio, or your drop dimension choice.
