Default Grinding the CV stops?

I am new here and this is my first post. I just bought a 1977 club cab power wagon. It is lifted 6" with 35 tires, has a 440, and has been converted to part time with an np208 case. The front drive shaft angle looks a little intense already and the splines are sticking out about 2". I have read about the chevy drive shaft swap but have no idea about where to grind. This is my first lifted truck, however not my first Mopar. Any instruction on where to grind to help the clearance would help me out. Thanks and sorry for the long first post.

Here are a couple pics. I got it for cheap with a miss fire. Turns out the distributor was wired crazy. Fixed the timing and plug wiring and no more miss fire!!!

Just so you don't think you are being ignored. I personally don't do lifts so I can't help you. Sorry. If you have other problems I would be more than willing to help if I can.

i can post a picture for you tommorrow about where to grind the double carden, i just spent months figuring out my front shaft. also there is a spacer available to go between the front transfer case and the shaft where the four bolts connect to help re engage your spines.

Basically you want to take the squarness down to nice and round.
