[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 433277, member: 18789"] The angle of the driveshaft doesn’t do any good without it being relative to the axle….put the angle finder on the axle and the transfer case output so we can see what those are. You can determine the axle angle by going around to the diff cover side and putting your angle finder on the cast circles to the right of left of the diff cover. The transfer case is what it is based on the transfer case spacers and the axle needs to be roughly 2° below that to account for axle wrap. Nothing else matters unless the angles are so steep that they surpass the allowable operating angle of the u-joints. To me your pinion looks too high but we’ll see. For what it’s worth, the “20° angle” doesn’t really mean anything. The axle and transfer case are not perfectly horizontal so 20° isn’t a true measurement of anything. That’s just relative to the ground which doesn’t matter. [/QUOTE]
