So, I lifted my jku with the Mopar Fox lift which comes with a spicer front shaft. I also put the geo correction brackets, which makes my caster perfect at about 6 degrees but the pinion is not pointing at t case, so the joint is at a 5 degree angle, instead of 0. Is this bad? I don't want to blow up my t case...

A CV driveshaft should be the same angle as the pinion, or the pinion can be 1-2 degrees lower to compensate for it rising a bit when you step on the gas.

Does it vibrate at all?
 
Oh wait... Is this the front? If so, don't even worry about the front. The front is long enough that you don't need to worry about the angles like you do on the rear driveshafts (which may not even be as big of a deal on JKs anyways, given how much longer they are than the TJs).
