Looks fine to me. From what i was told the driveshaft needs to be at some sort of angle to work the joint, if not the needle bearings wont lube themselves and freeze up.

I run the same drop. I raised my trans up about a inch and ran 2 degree shims in rear for a -3 degree angle on rear end. Driveshaft is dead level with truck level. Also had to raise trans bc I only had about 3" ground clearance between exhaust. Lol she's pretty low.
