Update today. I tried to stay with the two piece driveline setup, but it now looks like one piece is the only option. As was explained by the driveline shop, the intermediateshaft is an extension of the transmission tailshaft and the angles cannot be adjusted, as there is not enough room above the support bearing crossmember to allow the intermediate shaft to position straight through the support bearing. I still have all my parking brake cable setup attached to the crossmember. My option is to have a portion of the crossmember cut out and insert a tubular driveshaft loop in between. This will allow for a 3 1/2" one piece driveshaft with approximately 3.5 degrees of shaft angle. I was hoping the intermediate shaft could angle down and the rear shaft would extend to the differential, but it doesn't work that way. So the truck heads back to the fab shop one more time. Bummer
