It's only about 2 1/2 inches of engagement.

You look very close to coming out on that slip yoke, I think with a 6" lift you are going to have to go to a SYE kit and a CV driveshaft. I would thing that the truck is going to vibrate quite a bit with that much of an angle.

To properly keep your current set up in proper alignment and ujoints working together, you need your t-case and your pinion yoke to be parallel with one another. Pick up a cheap angle finder to see where you're at. Harbor freight was a cheap one I got....probably $10 or $15.
