Hey folks. I just installed my drive shaft. The body is off the frame right now, and I'm finishing the rolling chassis. I measured the angle of the drive shaft from tranny, down to rear axle, and got a number of 6.5 degrees down from horizontal. Does that sound correct to you pros ? It looked a little steep to me, maybe due to new poly trans mount, and the body being off. What do you guys think ?

Poly mount is usually taller than OEM and the lack of the body isn't helping.
