CLUNK!

At least, that's MY problem, and I know several others have run into it too.  
The spherebar mount is too tall to fit properly.  Raising them even higher as 
you did is asking for trouble, probably....

And this is with stock driveshafts; aftermarket units are physically larger 
and the problem becomes worse.

Sigh....
