5in coils are going to put the CV and Uni at pretty acute angles. The spacer will only be making these angles worse as it will shorten the distance between the Tcase and diff. being that the rear axle rotates on a similar plain to the shaft I'd expect that it's the CV at the Tcase end of the shaft.

you could use a double cardan joint on the tcase end of the shaft. Worked great for me.
