Yeah, I have to say that first new picture doesn't look too bad at all. For some reason the very first picture (the one I cropped) looks much worse but I guess that was perspective after all.
lol yeah that mystery continues. The angle isnt half bad, but the angle and length of the driveshaft was more of the issue. I would of definitely of survived with that shackle angle, but as you all know, that wasnt the problem with the lift
Eff it, bring the pinion back down, in other words if your F250 blocks are tapered install them so the fatter end is towards the front of the truck, and the thinner end is towards the rear. Or, like I mentioned, drill new holes and move the front hangers about 1" or so back on the frame, and solve your driveshaft length issue at once.

I dont know what your guy's blocks look like, but both my stock F350 blocks, and these F250 blocks are as flat as could be, not a taper in site, atleast to the naked eye. And with this particular lift, it would require a very visible taper to bring this angle down. I cant express to you guys just how dissatsified I am with these hangers. I hate the fact its so ****kked up. I am not drilling out the front hangers and moving them back, its not what the kit required for me to do, so Im not doing it. I already drilled out the rear, that was enough for me. I am demanding my $185 back from SKY and Im walking away from this. My truck has been off the road since March...Its all because the gay *** ORU "leveling kit" that actually was a highering kit because it sat my rear end down 2 fuccing inches, and all this BS followed it in its path. Im tired of guessing games, this is my daily driver. That is why I am being logical and I am installing the lift springs, and removing the blocks and these goofy hangers. I attemped it and it didnt work so I must carry forward and not allow this job to suck any more life out of me. I need to get my bed back on so I can start using my truck for work again and never look back at this annoying occurence. I will never be happy with something that required doing way more than what the directions told me to do. I am not drilling holes in my frame for a kit that should of worked without issues. Obviously what ever is causing the variable is something out of my control and SKY's control, so the least I can do is stop the guessing game and just do it right, like I should of 2 months ago. I guess I was never a fan of only raising the back of the spring and not the front, sort of seemed odd to me and that it would cause some awkward geomtries in the truck, and what do you know, it definitely did. Goodnight everyone I need sleep.
