Pinion tad to high.
Drive shaft a little short.
Being you added more lift at shackle it has pitched pinion up also maybe move shackle to front bolt.

With my sye instal used the hack and tap method with a flange adapter on the double cardan joint making it a little longer. My angle is way too high with 6.5 of lift and I'm using #6 shims to correct it on mine.

I used a RR SYE kooks exactly the AA ones when I lifted mine from 3" (Rustys full leaf/coil pkg.) no shims in it and stock shackles used.
Going to the 4 1/2" using a 1 1/2" Boomerang Shackle and adj. coil spacer zero fitment issues with the leafs. I did have a 3/4" TC drop kit that was removed when the SYE was installed. I did have to shim the differential in my 99 also with the SYE.
The driveshaft from a front 97 didn't look right on mine so found a custom made one on eBay with the large joints for $199 + shipping. Buy the time I rebuilt a stock shaft plus the cost it would have been about the same cost as a custom made one.
