Exclamation CV axle too short

I drive a 2002 4.7L 4WD Dak, with a 3in suspension lift and a 3in body lift. I threw it in 4hi about a mile out behind my house the other day, and not long afterward, my cv axle slipped out. After getting it to the shop, my mechanic said the axle on the front right side is too short due to the lift, and my options are to either lower the truck back down so the axle is long enough (no fun ) or find a longer axle to swap in. Ive been searching the threads and calling various places but nobody seems to have the answer, any ideas?

Default find a shop

You need to find a shop that can make you a custom shaft call around thats a common problem when lifting any auto you need new shafts.
