Driveline angles

As I understand it, the engine/tranny tilt angle and the pinion angle should be equal, i.e. the two axis should be parallel and the U joint operating angles should not exceed 3 degrees ideally.

That all said, I see mopar enthusiasts using some pinion angle (preload?) to account for the rise of the pinion under load. That is, put the pinion angle a bit below parallel to the output shaft so that when it rises under load, it becomes parallel to the output shaft or close to it. Some in...
