You may be already aware, but you can clear 35's with a leveling kit, or if you're looking for more clearance, a 4.5" lift. That may alleviate the driveshaft issue entirely. Those 35's are gonna look tiny under that much lift.
This is the first I'm hearing of this specific issue but the majority of the lifted 2011+ SD's I've seen pics of have been diesels.
