If you roll the pinion down, the driveshaft also goes down in the rear, resulting in a lower working angle for both the front and rear u joints.
Correct, but as Todd mentioned, the angles are nearly parallel just in different planes now. I've always thought that was the correct way to have the pinion angle and transmission?

Thanks everyone
