Default Punisher shaft

Would punisher shaft run at a steeper angle and not bind like stock driveshafts? Mine are at about 25* now and at there max but I would like to be able to get about 45* out of a drive shaft so I can get some more suspension travel and be able to shorten my wheelbase to comp specs when I want to run a comp.

Universal joints and CVD's don't work well at sharp angles, they soak up a lot of torque and become stressed, increasing the likelyhood of binding or breaking. 45* is pushing the limits!

You could try clocking your axles to reduce the angle between the shaft and the pinion.

What rig are we talking about?

Cheers.

Well Ive got the axles clocked a little right now but I was unsure of the effect it would put on transferring the input of torque to the output of the torque at the wheels so I didnt want to over do it. Its going in my TLT axled rig with a stampede tranny.
