Default Front driveline binding

I have an 83 k5 with a 6" lift and 3" body lift. My front leaf springs were worn out so I put new procomp 6" lift springs on the front and now my front driveline yoke is binding on itself at the transfer case. HELP PLEASE!

Is it hitting the cross member? I believe that above a 4" lift, the stock joint can hit the cross member.

Then you need a better joint. HAD (high angle driveline) should have what you need.
