you are going to have drive shaft problems no matter what you do, with that much lift. you should probably use the shim to get your caster right, then worry about pinion angle.

Well I spoke to jesse at high angle and he said just to give him the angles would I still have any problems with a new driveshaft made.Just want to get opinions.

IMO. If jess say its a go then its a go. Man made me a crazy shaft, way of angle and never had a prob.

Depends on what tranny/t-case you are running. I'm running a late 465/205 with the long adapter and 8" lift and I'm running a stock driveshaft with minor mod's. Works OK at the t-case,no problems at the axle but I have some custon drop front hangers too.
