Here are a couple pics before I put the driver's side back together last night.

I would measure your castor angle and make sure its in spec. Its a more important number than driveshaft angle. Bad castor and the jeep is going to be twitchy, wander all over the road and have poor return to center on the steering. From there I would determine if you need to change your steering setup, not ideal but they make highsteer arm spacers, if you decided to go that route. another option would be to swap to crossover and move the tie rod back down to the knuckles. But I would start with castor first and determine if and how much the axle needs to be rotated to be inspec.
Cut and turn of the inner C's is another option.

Mounted my winch last night and spooled the rope onto it this afternoon just before the rain started. I did use a wheel chock to make sure my Jeep didn't roll backward down the driveway. ;D

Lmao!

Roger- its been a while since I have logged on...Progress is looking good! This might sound like a lot of work, but you could cut the spring perches off, rotate the axle to the right angle for the driveshaft and then weld the spring perches back on. This is how I did the angle for my 8.8 swap and it worked well.
