If that's ride height, the driveshaft is definitely sloping down to the pinion. When you measure working angles, it needs to be on the u joint caps. That photo with the block of aluminum is not an accurate measurment. You should measure the u joint cap in the pinion and the driveshaft. That is your working angle.

Widowmaker, I agree that the chassis doesn't have to be level. The numbers will jive regardless. The issue is a pinion that is higher than a tailshaft.

Thanks for the photos...
