drive shaft angles

[comanche13]

I'm buysing a comanche with a 4.5 inch lift is it alright or should i change the angles I'm going to be putting a 5.5 inch lift will that need new drive shaft angles?

The "nose" of the axle should be pointing downward a couple degrees if your running a stock setup.

 

The theory is that when you accelerate the springs load up and allow the nose of the pumpkin to raise so its pointing directly at the T-case output.

Not to call you wrong on this, but wouldn't that be for a cv shaft and sye? The stock setup would need the tcase pinion to be parallel to the axle pinion. IE if the tcase had a 90 degree output, the axle would have a -90 degree input or if you use the whole 360 degrees, it would be at 270. Here's a link that explains it way better than I can.
