Question driveshaft angle ?

I'm wondering if when you lift a truck with spindles, new rear leaves and shocks(assuming that's how it's done) is the driveshaft not on too much of an angle? or is there a certain angle allowance before there is any performance change or damage to the rear dif.?

I have not had any problems with my driveshaft and i have the two piece driveshaft with the bearing thing attached to the truck right before the enf of the cab so my angle is higher than a lot of other trucks with the one long shaft.

Ford4ever,

I'm your neighbor down the road (Transit). Hope to see you out at Cruise night up at Players (or whatever they're calling it this year).
