The best response i have found is make sure your pinion is at the same angle as your DS for a stock shaft. Within a deg or two of it at least and should be fine....unless someone can counter that (please due i am still learning) i am running with that

Going out on a limb here but if you have a teraflex lift and are installing teraflex rear upper control arms I bet if you reach out to them they can give you an estimate of how long to make your arms so that your joint lines up straight with your shaft (ok that sounded a little gay but whatever ). They have some pretty good customer service over there. When you find out please post cause im curious as well

The write up explains that is a shaft with two U joints. We have two CV joints. Apparently the answer is to use an angle that wont tear the CV joint seal. Alternatively, buy a shaft with Double Cardan type cv joints. I am going to split the difference between the forward joint and the aft joint and run it until failure.
