driveshaft angle problems?

My truck has a flip kit and 2 inch lowering shackles on the rear. It has no driveshaft vibration at all. The truck has a little too much rake for my liking, so am i pushing it if i put some 1 or 2 inch lowering blocks on also? It is an 83 gmc.

How much of a notch so you have?
I would think a lowering block would require you to "step notch" the frame.

Re: driveshaft angle problems?

I've got a c-notch with plenty of room left.Probably a good 4 or 5 inches of travel left. I was wondering if this much of a drop is gonna give me trouble with my driveshaft angle. It's been good but i want the rear a little lower, too much rake. The front has 3 inch spindles and 3 inch springs.

With 3" spindles and 3" springs I'd thing you would be better of raising the front before your lower control arms take a beating.
