I wouldn’t worry about the trans like vile said think of when you launch a boat of the ramp that’s more of a angle than one or two inches will do

Probley wouldnt hurt to put some degree shims under those rear spring packs. But i personaly would get new shafts made in the future. Any kind of wheeling with those yokes streatched out like that is asking for trouble.

Easy fix flip the rear springs so the rear of he springs is facing forward. It will make up for the space

This happened to my buddy's '90 full size. He only put a 4 inch on it though. He backed over a curb one day for whatever reason and BANG, input yoke broke. Drove her home in 4wd using the front wheels. Lost some tranny fluid but got her home. I thought it was quite funny haha.

You put the yoke in where it should be look at the wear marks on the shaft. and measure center to center where the u joints should be
