ifs lift issues

I recently bought a 97 tacoma with a big ifs lift. Drove it for 2 weeks and both cvs were toasted as well as the hubs and wheel bearings... replaced all the damaged parts now but had it at a mechanic and im told this is just going to happen again... what i was told is that i need either drop brackets for the diff or longer cv‘s. Are these parts even avaiable? Really worried and need help figuring this out... the lift kit is marked fabtech was told its 9inchs of lift... i will post up some pictures later any input is appreciated. I know ifs lifts are known for being hard on front ends but i need to be able to drive more than 2 weeks before the front end is toast...

IMO.....Don't waste money on a massive IFS lift. Too much work for little improvement, money is better spent on a SFA, armor or anything that serves a better purpose...delete if this offends anyone...
