carrier bearing problem

I'm having a problem with my carrier bearing. It basically keeps getting pushed forward, so that rather than being vertical, it is at like a 20 degree angle from vertical. The actual bearing is on the shaft straight, but the rubber surrounding and frame bend at this angle. It even bends the bracket that the carrier bearing mounts too.

I had a shorter drive shaft (1/2") made to help eleminate this problem, but obviously it didn't help.

I lowered my truck by removing a leaf, so I think I'm getting axle rap, but I'm not seeing how that would cause this problem. I've also put shims in to help with the pinion angle.
