I agree with you in that the angle of the driveshaft needs to be the same at both ends of the shaft if you are running a non-CV driveshaft in order to cancel vibration (tranny/transfer case output shaft should be parallel to the rear differential pinion). However, if you run a driveshaft with a CV joint on the transfer case end of the driveshaft (like I am running), the pinion should be pointed directly at the tranny/transfer case output shaft. In this way, the CV joint maintains "constant velocity" through the bend, and there is no variable velocity vibration through the aligned u-joint at the pinion end since the angle is essentially zero.

I don't disgree that installing the unit will be a challenge, and that the driveshaft will be short, but this rig sees alot of highway miles and not so many twisty trails, so the benifits will outweight the problems in the end.
