ECE Trans crossmember trans angle

[beaterku]

Afternoon all,

I installed an ECE trans crossmember this weekend. This thing mounts the trans pretty low. I added a few washers between the mount and crossmember to raise the tail a little to add some clearance between the yoke and crossmember but I am still right at 3° down. I know these are for lowered trucks, but is this right? The mount is torqued pretty good. It seems like it is asking for the mount the fail.

The image below is what I am working with. It is a little exaggerated due to the camera lens.
