I can see that in the picture. That is one of the things that I do not like.The problem is that at that steep angle if that slip joint[that is what it is called you are right] were to bind when you hit a bump at speed! just think of pole vaulting. I hadn't even thought of vibration. You see as a slip joint wears it makes a groove at the top of the average travel. Then when it takes a harder jolt it hits that groove and stops making the shaft like a solid bar At this point the weakest link breaks or bends. Like I said just my opinion.
P.S. You won't gain better handling because a solid axle just has it's limits!
