Double check those bearings. Even though they might look ok, and they might feel good on a lift, the possibility of a cracked inner or outer race that shows up under loaded strain (while driving) is very real.
If the bearing race is indeed cracked that will throw off the entire geometry of that wheel and could cause rubbing on other items such as the brakes and the sheild that Dieselwrencher has mentioned.
