Default drive shaft

what are everyones thoughts on adding the h yoke from a cv shaft to the stock driveshaft what problems would this cause because it seems it would give the added length needed for a lift and the cv part provided it doesnt make the shaft too long?

What's the reasoning for wanting to do this? Just have vibrations?
