How does my driveshaft angle look

[MayzesTJ]

Installed SYE, Adams rear DS. Have jks rear adjustable trac bar and relocation bracket on the way. Have about 4” of lift. How does it look? What needs to be done? Thanks

Pinion looks slightly low, but pretty close to ideal. If it drives without vibes and you don’t get any binding at full droop you’re G2G.

Doesn't really matter what it looks like. It's impossible to tell if it's right from a photo.

Do you have adjustable control arms? Is the pinion aligned within a degree or two with the driveshaft? Does it have driveline vibrations?

In the picture it appears you still have the stock UCAs; with 4" of lift I would expect you to already have adjustable control arms.
Adjustable UCAs can usually assist in correcting pinion to driveshaft angles to 0* when installing a SYE and DC driveshaft.

Yeah PO had done the lift and originally had a tc drop. So installed a sye, will be getting adjustable CAs

Above is the post- optics don’t matter.

What you need to do is keep adjusting the control arms until it is as perfect as it can get.

High level technicians may adjust one 50 times.

Looks about right, but as others have mentioned it is hard to say from a photo. Pinion should be 1-2 degrees less than the angle of the drive shaft. Here's how you can measure. https://4xshaft.com/blogs/general-tech-info-articles/slopes-vs-angles
