Might be your CV joint does not have enough angular travel:

Check the scatter shield for the front driveshaft CV joint. It may be making contact.
I could not get mine to line up and took that off, then found the passenger side diff mount was not tight. After tightening this mount, the driveshaft bolted right up.

I had to use a DS from a SA '84-85 rig. DS shop swapped the flanges for me (the bolt pattern is slightly different) and lengthened/shortened as needed. All in all I think the DS work and DS cost me around $150.
