I hope I'm not reading that as an endorsement for OEM driveshafts over aftermarkets and a proper set-up. LOL. You're really pushing those Rzeppa joints hard--they don't take steep angles very well for very long. Here's some great info on setting pinion angle, and the different types of driveshafts ...

Not an endorsement, but you can run the stockers for a long time and they are a lot more forgiving in the situation OP is in. I tore my boot on my first outing after my lift and it survived another 8 trips worth of wheeling and a year of daily driving before I swapped in aftermarket ones. They're not quite as fragile as a lot of people make them out to be.

Probably should have gone to the same shop...but i didn't like how they said they changed the camber...since that's impossible.
However...my camber numbers changed a lot...i know that's unrelated to the lift...it's either the machine or MUCH MORE likely...cause I installed a truss.
Should i be worried about that caster....it's barely out of spec.
Everything else looks ok i think(i know the caster got worse...but it drives pretty nice still)
