CV Axle angle?

i have a 2.5 inch suspension lift in the front and since have had to replace both cv axles in the last year. i was curious if i should drop the diff? my lift kit came with a 1 inch diff drop but not sure if i should even do it. does my angle look that bad?

Jack up the truck by it's frame so that the tire is at max droop and spin the wheel. If it's binding up, you'll need a diff drop.
