Default JK rear drive shaft busted

My friend has an 08 2 door JK with the Tera-Flex 3 inch unlimited lift. so it lifted it 5-6 inches rather than the 3 it was supposed to. Problem, his pinion angle on the ****ty CV joints (big mistake on jeeps part) in the rear are too high and in less than a week he has busted 2 rear driveshafts. Has anyone else had this problem?

Result, he bought the tera-flex aftermarket driveshaft.

That is a common issue even on u-jointed vehicles when you lift them far out of there stock area. 5 inches is huge on a JK. Chances are hge would broke u joints too. Another thing that would really help, look at advancedadapters.com. They should make a "clocking ring" fopr the transfer case. Basically it lets you "clock" or spin the transfer case downward more to lessen the extreme angle.
