(stupid ?) drive shaft question

it`s me again,

well, - I discovered a problem when I had installed my motor/tranny/driveshaft combination :

the driveshaft looks as if its totally bent - i mean it just looks not right.

I dropped the rear with a belltech flipkit and hanger/shackle kit - I think that`s why the rearaxle isn`t level any more, - the u-joint is a little bit too high - and the first u-joint(at the end of the trans) is TOO low (it looks really stupid if you look underneath the truck...)

Is that normal ? Do i have to cut that U-profile off, which holds the driveshaft bracket...or does it help to reinstall the original hanger/shackle set ? Maybe that was a little too low....???

sorry, but I´m really confused and don`t know what to do right now to fix that prob, - maybe anybody has had the same issues or just a suggestion ??

and , sorry, there`s another problem:

I ordered a new rear window w/ rubber for my truck and now I discovered that the weatherstriping seal is TOO LONG ??! It doesn`t butt against the window exactly... (hope my english is okay...)

yours,
Rob
