With the car on a lift, ride height set, concrete sacks in the seat and trunk, I adjusted the pinion to make both u joint angles the same without worrying about the driveshaft direction. When I was done, the pinion was pointed down a few degrees like the tail shaft, and the driveshaft ended up being level.

Good point also, as I do not have my seats/carpet/dash/wiring/rollbar/side pipes/lights/driveshaft hoop/battery installed yet. I just wanted to modify if I had to earlier. (man, I do have a lot to go LoL)
Thanks,
PJ
