To get a better idea of the angles and what is going on when under a load, look in the manual and source info section. Fond the UTI manuals that cover the power train. There is about 10 minutes of reading and the complete picture of what is going on. It's worth the quick look. The info in the UTI books are totally usable for what we have. It will look something like this. You always want to keep the angles within 2 degrees or less through the hole range of travel of the rear end. Also I don't think there is enough spline on the tail shaft of the trany to allow for the slip yoke movement. It can slam the trany and break the tail housing. If you can stick with the 2 peace. you can also run into the cross member that is there.
