Likely a big heavy tough gear drive NP-205 transfer case.

What's the headers got to do with the drive shaft, it's got to go straight between the front axle's drive flange / yoke and the one on the transfer case. If the headers are in the way, easier to re-route a header pipe I'ld think.

Maybe I'm reading your post wrong?

i cant reroute a header its steel and came from hooker or headmen and like from the tcase to the front axel it hits the header cuz of the lift but either way i need a new drive shaft the one that was on there is seized.

I don`t know exactly how you would do it but what you are figuring if I am not mistaken is get a driveshaft coming out of the tcase going to another u-joint, then connecting to another driveshaft going to the axle like that on some newer trucks going to the rear axle? At that rate you would probably be further to go to a custom exhaust shop and have a set of headers made or lose 4wd, like half the show trucks I see.
