Lift issue
Curious to know if anyone has had a front drive safe issue after a lift kit. I have an 09 Ram 2500 ( no winters) last spring I had a BDS 8” lift installed to replace a crappy 6” lift. All went well and looks great except I had this small binding issue with the front shaft. Was told due to pitch. BDS offered an indexing kit which was installed as well as the xfer case lowering kit. Other than that I was told to have the front shaft modified to accept the angle? Don’t know how to even go about this. Since last summer the front shaft has been in my basement which btw is brand new. Any thoughts? Appreciate any help.

Welcome to DF. 
You want to be in the fourth gen ram section.
As to your issue, the shaft needs to be clearanced where it pivots, to account for the high angle it is going to be operating at. But, if you are getting binding, in normal driving, I would expect a custom shaft is going to be about your only option.
