The center line of the engine/transmission and differential pinion are parallel, just remove the front prop shaft for the single drive line.

I got a single piece shaft on the reg cab, 3 inch shackles. Pinion angle isnt perfect but dropping the overload helps because is Slightly raises the rear end up. And having the longer single piece shaft helps a bit to.
1-2* isn't the end of the world. You get beyond that and things start vibrating and causing you issues.
So if I'm reading this correct. Lifting should make the angle pretty extreme? Causing joints to wear quicker?

If you do get a vibration after installing shackles check the transmission mount, overtime they can sag quite a bit. IMHO I think it may be a lot vibration problems as it knocks the centerline parallel off.
Finished lowering today. I'm so glad I decided to lower it. Looks way better than before. I know most of you don't care for extreme offset wheels but I think it sets it off.

Yes it hits. I have to do the fender mod still. And they are 285/50. I had 305/50 but they rubbed a lot worse so I went to the 285.

Did you go from leveling keys and blocks to stock keys with bolts backed out and blocks re over with 3" shackles? Like the stance...alot

I went from factory blocks in the back and leveling keys to no blocks and 3 inch drop shackles in the back and 2 inch drop keys in the front. The back sits 5/8 of an inch higher than the front.

Looks very good. Well put together. What are you running for shock now and are you going to change them

Thank you. I have spent a lot of time making it look the way i want. Anything I wasn't sure about I just replaced. Like all the hardware for the rear springs. When I changed the springs I could've used the old bolts, u bolts etc. I just bought new. It's really the fine details that set it off.
Believe it or not I'm almost positive they are the factory shocks. None of them are blown yet but I been looking at some blisteins. It's up in the air right now.

I can tell you I've got 5100s for stock - leveled and they are nice for that but with 2" shackles it's a little stiff

Those were what I was looking at. So I should probably look for a little shorter shock.
