Re: Pinion and driveshaft clearance questions

I could not get the tailshaft raised enough, so I changed the angle of the rear axle. Technically, my driveshaft now runs uphill instead of downhill. Both angles are at 2 degrees. It has been this way for years without any issues.

You have enough drop in the rear this might be an option for you. You can buy shims that go between the rear swing arms and axle. It was easier for me to just remove the mounts and weld in new ones.
