Can you drop the transfer case down to help out at all? I know its possible to crank the front axles upwards at a better angle think that takes a lot of work though lol!

I agree with LONGHAIR. Contact High-Angle, or Tom Woods. See what they say about what you need. They might be able to put you together a CV shaft that will get you by. Maybe a slight clock of the transfer case combined with the new shaft would be the best middle ground before getting into extreme mods.

Extreme being turning the C's on your front axle to set the pinion angle without effecting your chamber, and steering.

800$ starting price for a front driveline to work with that lift.
