See if all your 4x4 works as it should still. If it is, maybe consider checking the levels of fluid in your transfercase and differentials.You could have possibly even had a leaky seal and little to no fluid in the tcase, so when you went up to 50mph the components inside started running dry, hence the smoke.
EDIT: What do you mean when you say your 4x4 isnt working properly? In the next sentence you said you went ahead and engaged it, what about the 4x4 system isnt working properly?

I was driving on a smooth country road. Some twists and turns. Nothing major at all.
I always check to see if there’s leaks by seeing if the front skid plate looks wet. In the past I could tell it’s leaking by noticing the front skid plate looks moist with fluid. Ever since they replaced the front axel it hasn’t been.
The truck runs fine in 2WD.
Also, when I engaged 4WD this time it was pulling hard to the left. It was difficult to maintain control at times.
