With these low ride heights and 4 degrees of angle you can't achieve a downward slope in the driveshaft unless you set the pinion up at an angle not equal to your driveline. Now I agree when setting up corresponding driveline angles, the car being level is not important. My point is simply if you are going with a custom set up you have to start somewhere. I know on my car the rockers are wihin .5 degree of level at ride height. You can always figure that out and take that into account when setting your drivline angle.

Good points Todd -- and that is why I tossed in the grenade... because it's something to think about IF your car is NOT going to sit pretty level... Many hot rods etc sit at some pretty good nose down rakes... and that needs to be accounted for.
