Driveline Problems with 8" Lift

I just got done installing an 8” Top Gun Short arm kit on my ’08 Diesel, Automatic Mega cab and it does not look safe to drive. The Tech guys at Top Gun told me that the drive lines would be fine, but it does not look that way to me. The front looks fully extended and the rear looks to have pulled out of the tranny about 1.25 inches. What would be the most reliable option to correct this problem?
1. Lengthen both drivelines, (how much?)
2. Add driveline spacers?
3. Drop the tranny and transfer case down?
4. Clock the transfer case
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Get ahold of SierraRam on VirtualDodge.com. He's been down this road, is running an 8 inch suspension lift, and will set you on the right track! I know he has the long arms and has a lot of different drop down bracketry and that he did clock the T-Case. I also know that he had to have his drive lines lengthened a little bit and balanced. He's the man in the know
