Default Extending a front driveshaft

I put a 6" Rough County lift on my 2000 Blazer, and since doing that, the front drive shaft seems a bit short. I've gone through 2 in 2 weeks because it slips off the spindle of the transfer case. It doesn't slip off far enough that it falls off completely, but it slides enough forward that the spindle just spins around inside the rear end of the driveshaft. I'm not doing any crazy rock crawling or anything. Just a hunting truck that I use like a side-by-side. I do need to drive it on the interstate, so I'd like to avoid an extension method that requires a lathe and balancing. Was hoping for something that might extend the pinion flange off the front diff, or something like that. I only need a half to 3/4 of an inch more. So hoping for fairly cheap and easy.

Anybody know of any existing products you can post a link to? reminder, this is the FRONT drive shaft I'm having issues with. I'm tired of driving this big lifted 2wd blazer haha
