Probably but I didn't shim the rear end when I lifted so I'm going to measure the angles and see if I can get around the SYE if not oh well. Trying the cheaper route first.

Shims could make it worse with the stock rear drive-shaft. But are necessary with a SYE.
Could just be worn u-joints.

Good references for drivelines;

All I did today was take a few pictures of my baby and look around for more parts. Still don't know where to begin with this build.

Posting the pictures is a good start. I am sure some of us will offer 'suggestions' on where to begin.
Providing you already replaced all fluids, hoses and belt.

Ravine's.... sweet! A set of 5, you got lucky.
I run a 1" hubcentric and wheelcentric spacer with them.
Please let everyone know how you acquired them and how much $.
There is interest on other threads.
I found 5 at a used tire shop for $200.

Pulled the rotors and pads from the parts truck a couple weeks ago, they were barely used but sitting for some time. Did a clean up with stainless wire cup brush and exchanged for the worn out fronts on the Peep.
