I would like to know what the pinion angles are on the front shaft in relationship to the transmission and angle on the differential.  Also,  I would need to know how much you would need to bring the carrier baring up for a 5-7" drop.  I am putting a two piece drive shaft in a standard cab pick up formally had a one piece.  I am just looking for the pinion angles on the different applications for baseline.  I am thinking that the front drive shaft is straight in line from the transmission, with the transmission at -3 degrees and the differential is at 3 degrees.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a better place on this forum to post this question to get an answer?

Yea like you said.. I think the front piece is pretty much straight from the tranny to the carrier bearing then the rear piece has the angle to it..
