Lightbulb front drive shaft with lift on truck

I just got a 95 f150 4x4 v8 5.0L. but it has a 10" lift on it and the front drive shaft is not installed. I replaced the u joints and tried to install it but found that the support beam for the transmission is in the way and it looks like the u joints would be under a lot a strain cause of the angle. Just wondering if anyone has a good solution for me so i can have 4 wheel drive? Any advice would help.

only way iv seen it done is. the cross member has to be either modified or you gotta make a new one. then you need to get a custom built drive shaft. some people get longer drive shafts from other trucks but i dont know what fits or would work.

Some people index the transfer case.

What do you mean by indexing the transfer case?

Index it, clock it. They rotate it down for a better driveshaft angle.
