Default drive shaft issue

I have a 91 cherokee xj 6 inch lift. and i have way to much angle on my drive shaft and i keep snapping the heads off my yolk. is there any way i can reduse the angle of the drive shaft, without purchasing a slip yolk eliminator?

do it right and get an SYE because a t-case drop wont get you the reduction in angle you need

if you really want to be cheep. a set of 4* shims on the axle will help buy you cant run a stock diff cover as you'll leak fluid out the fill. and it still wont solve vibration issues

x2 on the shims if you go cheap.
I ran with out a sye for a year and had no issues. But thats becacause I have a longer rear shaft. But still getting the sye so I don't have any problems in the future.
