Nice looking truck. Way better shape than either of mine. Looking at the picture that shows your front driveshaft, it looks to be extended about the same as mine. When I picked up front end of my truck by the bumper the driveshaft almost came apart. I suggest you try it, you might be suprised. Flexing isn't a problem because when one wheel goes down the other goes up (relative to the frame) and the slipjoint doesn't move much. With a SR the axle moves forward when it moves away from the frame, so the front driveshaft usually has to lengthened. Try not to get any front end air until you check it out.
