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?

It would make it too long unless you had like a 12" lift
