Default CV Axle to long? With lift and diff drop

Hello to all, new here. I got a 07 Dakota SLT, 3.7L 4WD. Sorry if this has been discussed already but couldn't find anything on this. Trying to install a supreme 3 inch front lift, 2 inch rear, with 2 inch diff drop brackets. The left axle appears to long and the inner CV joint bottoms out and causes binding as the axle turns. Everything is all OEM, the axles actually have the OEM stickers still all them and i tried swapping them side to side. Nothing appears bent either, alignment was done and everything is in spec. I can't seem to find a resolution to this. Has anyone come across this before? Are shorter axles availible?? Thanks in Advance.
