I have a 2 piece drive shaft and the first shaft is straight from the trans to the carrier bearning, then the secong shaft has a slight angle down to the rear end. My rear end is square with the back half of the drive line.

I was going to have a solid drive shaft made ($300), but the shop I took it to said there was no need for it since the angles were good and I wasn't running a whole ton of power.
