I didn’t even realize people did this to SUVs until now. Are you going to bag the front to have a bit of play in the height or go static?
Here’s a good article of driveshaft angle and the such:

I once lifted a Jeep and didn’t correct the driveshaft angle and wouldn’t you know...busted u-joint about a year later.
Shouldn’t hurt the diffs at all to squat it. Just pay attention to the angles or you’ll be stranded on the road with your driveshaft hanging down in the future.
Interesting tidbit: After some research I found that squatting trucks came from Baja racing where the trucks are squatted in order to land the high speed jumps without losing control.
Go for it man!
Note: Not my truck.

Update, I did something.
I went with the FTS 7-9 inch full lift. Kept the AWD, and I love it. It rides great and I haven't had any issues with shaking or anything
