yeah it will point the pinion skyward but that wil b ok coz i can spin my wedges around the other way 2 bring it back down a bit

Are you going to lower just the rear mount or the front mount as well :?:

just the rear, the front is already slightly lower due 2 being moved forward 4 the falcon springs

Should'nt cause any probs if the pinion angle is corrected.
If you are only dropping it an inch or so to make up for an inch lower block it should'nt make much difference at all.

was thinking bout lowering it like 2 or 3" so that i can take out the lift blocks under my springs i know that only lowering it 2 " will lift it 1"
