Damn phone 1 sec. I'm pretty close to straight vertical. Phone won't let me upload says there's an error and it has been reported.

Ideally it should be at a 45 degree angle - not vertical

It's not like this is it? Did you say horizontal or vertical? Haha.

Damn. I'm pointed straight to the ground. Well 45 to the front or the rear? Does this matter?

45 to the rear. And yes, it matters if you're running lift shackles.

What most people I know have done (including myself) is purchase this item. I have the set on my XJ & the angles are adjustable until you get what you're looking for. They might add a small amount of lift (about .75") which isn't much.
Edit: what he said above. I was searching for the link.
