Default Need some input on new SYE dshaft angle

Hey guys, I just finished putting a SYE into my '98 xj. I pulled this Tcase, sye and driveshaft out of a parts truck a while ago and finally got around to putting it in and taking out my old Tcase drop.

But now that I've got it in the angle at the double-cardan looks a little sharp...what do you guys think?? It has maybe 3mm of clearance at the Dshaft ears right now but it looks like it might bind when I get it flexed out on the trail...

I'm at about 6.5" of lift, the 231/sye/dshaft came out of an xj with 4.5" lift.

Here's some pics..

You have shims in the rear? How's it feel when you drive? Any vibes at all?

Yea the small blocks I have under my leafs have a built in shim, I havent been able to drive it yet as I am still getting everything bolted back in... (I had to pull the tranny as well to do a pump seal and am replacing a bunch of other stuff while Im at it..)
