The reason is simple, the engine, transmission and transfer case are angled down front to back several degrees. The front axle pinion is angled up. The difference can be as much as 10 degrees which is why a Double-Cardan front CV driveshaft is used. With stock suspension trucks, the CV Joint operating angle usually does not exceed about 15-16 degrees, however, with lifted trucks, the operating angle can exceed the design limits of the CV Joint. Also keep in mind the greater the angle, the less energy efficient the driveshaft is in transmitting power. As the angle increases an ever greater amount of power is used just to force the driveshaft through its rotation.\u003cbr\u003eMaximum CV Joint Operating Angles for Ram Front CV Driveshafts:\u003cbr\u003e1330 Series 18° \u003cbr\u003e1350 Series 32°\u003cbr\u003e1410 Series 22°\u003cbr\u003e1410 Series High-Angle 30°\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"note5\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Note 5:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePinion Yoke and Pinion Seal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo provide initial lubrication for the seal, put a film of clean grease on both the pinion yoke hub and seal lips.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"note6\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Note 6:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDriveshaft Phasing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDriveshafts need to be set in Phase during assembly.
