When a body lift is done a lot of things have to be changed including the length of the intermediate shaft. When I did my body lift I did experience an issue similar to yours but it was solved by a readjustment. There is a coupler down by the steering box that could be your problem, a replacement would be an possible solution, especially of it is the original one. I eventually bought one of those aftermarket shafts which I think is a waste of money, but it does elimate that coupler.

Your shaft has a plastic pin that can be drilled out so it can expand.
