Leon 'Bolter L Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 Grandview	Mike, I measured my 55.1 3200 today. It's stock except with softer rear springs that lower it an inch or two. The transmission angle is 1.5 degrees below the frame and the rear axle angle is 3 degrees above the frame. I didn't think to measure the driveshaft angle. regards, Leon
