2nd gen cv shaft after TT

Just out of curiosity did anyone consider replacing their front cv's with a set longer. I know the added height of a TT would put more stress on the cv due to the angle.

I forgot to mention I would also do a Shackle/TT mod as well. I know doing the TT would put more stress on the cv.. I'm just wondering if there is an aftermarket part not necessarily for our trucks.
