Can you post some pics of your front axles? I would be vary carefull if I was you. You have increased your front axle angles and have created more downward travel then the truck was designed for. What would make me feel better (or yourself for that matter) would be to jack the truck up in front (and back so that wheels are off the ground) to see how far the front wheels hang down, then carefully accelerate in 4WD. Your CV joints may not turn properly at that extreme angle and may bind or break. You do not want to find this out the hard way. You better find out in a controlled situation. If you don't want to actually use the engine to turn the wheels you could just turn them by hand, although I'm not sure it will give you the same results. You might want to find out what the maximum angle the CV joints are designed for and measure your axles at drop out. Even riding now your angles might my damaging your joints. This is why 4X4 lift kits relocate the front transfer case. You guys are nuts!!
