single cardan front shaft?

Did any square body ever come with a single cardan front shaft? I just put in some 6" lift springs and the angles arent right to work with the cv shaft now. I know I could cut and rotate the steering knuckles but I'd rather not. The angles look like they might be ok with a standard single cardan shaft but I'll have to check with an angle finder. Im not wheeling the truck hard if at all just using 4 wheel if it snows bad. I can deal with some small vibrations in 4 wheel but not the clunking and banging a cv shaft makes when the pinion isn't pointed straight at the t case.

Excellent, Ive got the 465/205 as well, maybe its as simple as hitting the junkyard and grabbing a front shaft from a newer truck.
