u will have some serious uni angle with stock shaft, and rotating the diff back to suit a dc will be a big turn, why is ur rig so high? what size tyres are you running? 7 inch is a huge lift in a swb

basically you have to point the pinion angle down so that the flanges are running parralal, id lengthen the lowers 16mm at first and see what it does, every set up is different so you will have to fine tune it
