I would love to see a pic of your CV axles. I'm curious to see how you got that much lift without increasing the angle to a point where they are gonna snap at some point turning the weight of that wheel/tire combination.
I know many, including myself who use their truck off-road, have stopped at 35" tires and moderate lift height for fear of snapping CV axles...

Yeah, those angles are not extreme at all. A LOT of standard kits that won't even clear 37s increase the angles a lot worse than yours.
Of course, since I have a torsion bar front on my '04 it won't be of any benefit to me, but the combination of 6" suspension lift with the Quicklifts looks like a relatively safe combination. I installed a set of Quicklifts for a friend on his '06 Ram and was impressed with them.
My only real option is to go to a 3" body in combination with my suspension lift, but that gives me a problem with my grill guard/winch mount which has to be frame mounted. I can fab and hack, but really don't want to as it appears my bumper would have to be hacked up a good bit. If I take the easy way out and put a set of level keys on with my lift, I run into an extreme CV angle issue.
Not for me, I've pulled a couple trucks out the woods with 37"+ tires who've snapped CVs whilst out hog huntin...
