Need some help Pleeeaaasssee....I'm trying to gain as much clearance as possible and I've seen pics of the Atlas being completely flat underneath but have yet spoken w someone (locally) who does not have a concern w pinion angle and breaking driveshafts. I'm breaking shafts at the angle I'm at now and my Atlas is at about a 45 degree angle. What can I do? Thanks...

Front or rears, with your current 45 degree setup....?

My Atlas is almost flat. The front CV seems to wear out a little faster than before , but not so much as to not run it in this configuration. The rear hs been OK.
How much lift are you using? Most of the time I was about 3.5.

5.5 in lift. I broke a rear u-joint Sat cruising down the hway. A month or so it was the front that broke.

Sounds like you need to check the output angle of your pinion outputs on both axles........

Not quite flat, but pretty close
