I can't have it both ways and something is gonna have to run at a different angle...just not sure where to compromise?

Halfshafts at correct OEM angle equals driveshaft running uphill to diff
Driveshaft at correct OEM angle equals halfshafts running downhill to diff

This can't be so difficult as it would be the same proplems racecars would run into with drastically lowered ride heights....It about has to be the halfshafts running downhill to the diff and focus on maintaining proper driveshaft angle...I THINK????
What kind of car are you working on? Can you raise the back of the transmission so that it points at the diff? That will fix your driveline angle problem.
