I kinda understand driveline angles, it just would be much easier to figure it out if my driveshaft actually pointed down out of the trans!
Brad, what are your angles do you know?

It's been awhile I can't remember the numbers  but I had to make a 3deg shim for the rear end as the pinion was pointing up in the air.  I drove it at 120 MPH for an hour or so while on route to Carlisle one year. The only thing I noticed vibrating was my hands getting my drivers licence out for the officer? :-[  :icon16:

Hahaha that's funny but worth it! Sitting on 100mph I have no vibrations either, I'm just trying to determine if I'm the only one who has a driveshaft that rises from the trans! According to the DC performance manual I'll need to lift the rear trans mount at least an inch to remove the 2.3* up angle, and still have around 4.6* pinion down
