I’ve read everywhere and can’t seem to come up with a solid answer in terms that aren’t hard to follow. I find tons of info on a single driveshaft but none on 2 piece angles. We’ve lowered my sons 75 c10 truck with some shackles (it’s already got a flip kit) it’s got a low speed vibration when accelerating. I’ve replaced carrier bearing and all the universals. We tried a 2 degree shim today and it’s still there. Could anyone help shed some light on what the next step would be? Raise the carrier? More pinion shim?

rules of angles apply. You want to get the operating angles within 1-2 degrees of another. The shorter the driveline the closer you want the operating angles to be.
