need more info . tcase drop , spring shims ,year stuff like that

Use a die grinder to clearance the yokes...grind the base of the yoke, not the area where the u-joint caps fit. Give it enough clearance to clear at full droop...It may still vibrate from the high angles, but at least you won't outright kill the TC or pinion bearings.

is it binding in the front u-joint?? i had this issue and all i needed was a new slip-yoke from a YJ wrangler.. it is cut deeper around the yokes so it can run at a much steeper angle.. Rubicon Express has an "extended slip yoke" that is the exact same thing as a YJ yoke.. i think they want $80 for it..
did you say you had the driveshaft lengthened?? i didnt need to do that. i still have the stock shaft and hasnt been an issue.. if you had yours lengthened i would make sure it's not too long and going to push against the tail shaft housing when the rear springs compress...
