: Tilting the pinion up, how far? 60 vs 14 bolt?

I will soon be faced with a very short steep rear driveshaft. I plan on using a CV at the transfer case, and tilting the pinion up as far as possible. The guys at Dynatrac told me that that a Dana 60 could only be tilted up 11 degrees and then the pinion will be starved of oil and burn up. The vehicle will be a high mileage daily driver with lots of highway miles.
Is anyone tilting their pinions higher with long term success and highway miles? would a 14 bolt be able to be tilted higher up than a 60?
thanks for the help

I'v heard 14-15* max for a 14 bolt. However, mine is at about 20* and I will fill it with extra fluid. Solves that;)
