You may want to just double check the sizes you are using of particular spacers (ie ones behind you CVD axles etc) to confirm that they are the same as everyone else and what is recomended, since this is NOT a problem for any one else that I know of.......
I will leave the other team lads to add any further help.

Hi Darren, have re-read your reply and I would agree that on full droop the raised gearbox will pull the driveshaft out further. However, this will only mean that there is more chance of the driveshaft popping out at full droop - would you then have to start putting limitters inside the shocks???
The posts that others have put on following yours do support my findings that raising the gearbox causes more plunge at full suspension compression. The problems are found on full suspension compression and not at full droop... suspension is restricted massively as the driveshaft fouls on the diff nut!!
I would be very keen to see what others are running, so again I would ask that people post what spacers, washers etc that they are running with possible pics. I cannot currently see how this would be rectified without removing the E speed hangers and going back to the longer rear camber links -> There is obviously a handling benefit to using the E speed hangers otherwise people wouldn't use them on almost all UK tracks and so removing these would have a negative impact on the handling.
I have to say it again.. Give with 1 hand, take away with another!!!
Sooooo frustrating, and must summarise that this is a bad design!
