I want to install a full traction 6" lift, ford8.8, sye,cv driveshaft, and 33" tires. My question is can I use a cv driveshaft and weld the spring mounts so the pinion is in line with the driveshaft, or will that rotate the diff to much for proper oiling of the pinion bearing? I ask because ive seen some pictures in these forums and the angle looks pretty severe.
 
I'm running the same kit with a little more lift added, and this is the pinion angle for the 44 rear I used to have in it:

I got a diff cover with a high fill plug, and I've had no problems. Don't know if they make a cover with a high fill plug for the 8.8, but I would try to get a hold of one if you're really that concerned about it. I think you'll be fine.
