Not trying to be "Dad" or anything, I raised my CJ 5, 1 inch (according to the specs) My Baby was squatting in the back terribly and the front was not wonderful either......So I did a spring lift, after talking to the manufacturer, he assured me that "Their" springs were heavier than stock and I would never have the squatting issue again (they did not offer heavier stock springs, just these--on up).............Dang, after what I had,..................this was like getting a 6" lift.....I am so happy!
I've heard and seen, bad things with extreme lifts, Safe Drivability, would be my main concern---followed by Extreme parts wear and damage
"STUPID PLEA", I know,................. Ease DOWN on your lift, not make it a lowrider, but nearer to stock.......I love my 2, they will be around a lot longer, if I continue to care for them!
It might be possible to "Wedge" your axles, at the springs which will "AIM" your differential yokes more toward the transfer case
This would relieve Bindage on the driveshaft at both "U" joint locations.
At low speed--crawling--etc, you might be fine
HOWEVER, With Highway driving, THIS IS GOING TO AFFECT OTHER STUFF, THAT WAS NOT ENGINEERED INTO YOUR RIG......AND THIS "STUFF" COULD BE DANGEROUS......IF COMPETENT PERSONNEL DO NOT ARRANGE IT CORRECTLY AND SAFELY.
What I am talking about now is the "CAMBER"----"CASTOR"---AND "TOE" of your front end............changing that angle will change all of the above.......A good alignment shop may be able to help with this...........some refuse to do it for liability reasons.
I do not have any idea, what effect the rear axle will have!
Please reply with results/ comments/ etc
