A good alternative to keeping everything happy (if it's available for your truck- I am pretty sure it is) is a transfer case drop kit if you need it. It will drop the transfer case down by around 1" to help with the angles. The rear driveshaft won't even be an issue. Even on my super short wheelbase K5, the rear shaft was fine. As a matter of fact, my 71 K5 didn't even need a thing when I put a 6" lift on it. This is a case by case basis I guess.

Hope it helps.
I've been wondering, what do the Tcase drop kits do to the front driveshaft? Wouldn't it cause the output shaft to point slightly towards the cab floor?
