tom woods sells a OFF SET U JOINT    gives like 5 degrees more angle   up to 40 *  60$ each  plus shiping i just got 2 of them   .           

  Also you can use wedges to roll the axel up or down   from 2-8 *  to help out     

  also lower your tcase mount down more

i just drop my tcase over 3"   rolled the front up 4*  and rolled the rear down 6*       the wedges are like 25$ a set    but you may have to redo your leaf spring center pin at this time.

The offset ujoints are not for street use they vibrate bad.  A cv in the rear requires the pinion to be rotated up and pointed at the tcase.
