drivetrain angle?

i have a question on drivetrain and the angle to which you ride...


having put air ride on my car the angle of the drivetrain can change over time. having a solid axle car would it really matter to the drivetrain how the body goes down the road? an example of this would be a 1" difference in height between the front and rear of the car. i was told that it wouldn't but wanted to see what other takes may be on the subject?

I dont think it would matter which angle the body of the car is at while driving. As long as the drivetrain is all in line and not binding then you should be fine. I think the rear pinion angle must be at the same angle as the crank shaft. I think anyways. Im in the process of getting my pinion angle correct after installing the spohn torue arm.

any ride within reason should be fine. at max height, you start to get to some extreme angles, but other then that, you're fine.

somewhat of how i figured but it's always nice to hear other opinions on the matter because it does worry me slightly. air ride told me it wouldn't be a problem but you never know.
