Thanks for all the replies. David, you came pretty close to the most direct answer. Do you know if your pads and the yoke on your setup are essentially 93 degrees apart. If I could sit your axle flat on it's pads, the yoke on the front would measure 3 degrees up? I am hoping to install all of this before I have the cab and bed installed on the frame. I will of course measure the downward angle of the engine/transmission. I have read the tech articles and think I understand it all, I was just looking for someone with a stock engine setup who has been through this. Again, thanks to all for the help and pointers.
