Default front axle drag

That last time I had my 95 LS up on the lift, I noticed that there is a considerable amount of drag compared to the SFA f-250's and so on that I work on on a regular basis. The truck as always had this drag, but its got my curiosity if its normal or is there something screwy going on. Any input would be helpful.

What do you mean by drag? Added rolling resistance because something's wrong?

its because the suspension is hanging and the cv axles have a greater angle than normal adding some resistance which is why cranking the torision bars increases cv wear
