Default Pinion angle

Do you think this pinion angle will be alright for street use? Or should I possibly shim the rear axle up to bring the angle down.
Its going to be an awd supercharged rcsb sierra
The angle slope down from front to rear
Single axle

5.7 Transfer case 2.3 Driveshaft 5.7 rear axle

Your u-joint angles should be 0.5 - 3.0 degrees and right now you are at 3.4 degrees on both u-joints. A 1.0 degree shim should put you back into spec on both u-joints.

That is about what I had in mind. Would like to get the rear pinion down 1-2 degrees from 5.7. Thanks

Sorry, I don't think I stated that right. You need to adjust both angles. If you can get the transfer case to 4.7 and the pinion to 4.7, you should be golden
