You are refering to a double cardan joint, and yes this was available, and could be an option, but you have to determine the angles of the axle, and output shaft first.
You should also make sure that your slip joint is adequate. A dry joint will eat u-joints in a hurry.
Here is a little reading that should get you pointed in the right direction:
