CV Shaft Replacement?

Okay, so I recently did a lift on my 2004 and everything was perfect and comfortable and amazing but sadly the angles on the CV's are quite extreme so whenever I make a turn it make a repeated clunking noise until I straighten out, this wouldn't be two much of a problem but sadly here in Alberta it finally started snowing and it's hit with a passion so 4x4 is a must. So, I don't want to do Locking Hubs as I don't feel like leaving the vehicle in -30 but is there anything I can do? I'm guessing that replacing the CV's won't really do anything but delay the problem, and fluid is leaking from them.

 

Tires are 29's (stock).

Lift is about 2.5 inches, maybe more (OME lift, and fluery's 1.5 front and 1 rear).

If fluid is leaking the boots are torn. The first sign of bad cv joints is that clicking noise. Sounds like they were bad before the lift. The easiest way is to replace the whole shaft.
