"Improving" = lessening? 

The issue, I thought, was driveline vibrations.  Not overall severity of
operating angles.

My longer rear shackles would tip the pinion slightly upward.. OFF of
horizontal, OFF of parallel with the transfer case = potential for vibration.

I was concerned I would get a vibration when I put the shackles on because
of this... but I haven't noticed it (the bent axle flange was more
noticeable, anyhow)
