[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 433256, member: 19498"] My 91 with a 2.5 RE lift has a bit greater DS angle than that by the looks of your pic and Ive never had any issues and Im sure thats the opinion you'll get from the majority of owners. Granted angle is a factor or use to the point the DS could be pulled from the T case from extreme axle drop and big lifts/flex. Thats where a SYE kit comes in. From the looks of your rig its pretty typical IMO. The biggest factor in DS angles, to a point mind you, is a difference of angles at either end. Most DS builders will recommend nothing more than a 1.5 degree difference between the two ends/U joint angles so things like axle or leaf spring shims are used to slightly rotate the diff. Its kinda had to tell on yours as the shaft is slightly rotated past the point of the yokes being flat or level buy to me it looks OK as far as overall angle. [/QUOTE]
