1" up and 1" down
just wondering... when swapping in my 8.8, if i change my pinion angle a bit, add 1" shackles in the back, 1" spacer in the front and a 1" transfer case drop; shouldn't this keep me right where i am at now with my driveshaft and angles? or would i have problems? 01 xj, 3" RC AAL. thanks

If you're putting a 8.8 in, why not angle the pinion properly and point it at the TC case so you don't need the 1" TC drop?

No the t case drop coupled with the shackles will do the opposite and make the angles worse. You're angling the rear end up and move t case down. With a t case drop you actually need to angle the pinion down more.
