Default Need Help With Driveshaft

So I installed a Crown Suspension 3/5 drop on my 2016 rcsb 2wd drove it for about 2 weeks just fine then one day on my way home from work, my driveshaft broke where it goes around the ujoint. I ordered a new drive shaft because i pretty sure lowering voids the warranty on the drive train got the drive shaft and installed it and now my driveshaft is rubbing a cross member on the frame. i was wondering if anyone had experienced this and if so how to fix it or any suggestions

I put in airbags and lifted the back about an inch..... I have a nice groove on my driveshaft from the crossmember. The proper solution will be to notch the bracket. I'll be looking at that this summer. I'm also looking at having a 1 inch helper spring made up by my spring shop so I can air the bags down.

No..... but I will see if I can get some today or tomorrow. The wife unit has my truck right now. I was lucky and had my truck in for some other work and they noticed the rubbing on the driveshaft a couple days after I lowered it. So I paid a little more attention to the bumps and could hear it hitting..... the airbags were installed as soon as they came in.

I used the Slam Air kit from Air Lift. Worked well, a couple exhaust brackets had to be adjusted, but all in all , not too bad.
