Are you running aftermaket or stock down pipe. Stock down pipe has a dent in it from the factory at that location, to prevent DA from hitting. Aftermakets are usually bent to avoid the DS.

stock down pipes have the dent for the ds before the lift. It should be impossible for you to hit it with the driveshaft lifted unless your trackbar is really messed. if it isn't leaking and or really loud your fine
I snapped my track bar and the driveshaft pushed that pipe into the oil pan and cracked it.
