I actually was thinking about this this morning and I think your post, if I'm reading it right, confirms this. Even though my pinion/rearend is pointed up the "angle" actually slopes down if viewed from front of the car to rear-just like the driveshaft and engine. So the 6.5 operating angle I thought I had in the rear (2 degree driveshaft downslope + 4.5 degree pinion pointing up, which is actually a downslope) is actually 2.5 degrees not 6.5. Correct?

Now when I lower it another inch or two and the driveshaft is level I may be in a worse situation but I think it looks okay now.
