So the 6.5 operating angle I thought I had in the rear (2 degree driveshaft downslope + 4.5 degree pinion pointing up, which is actually a downslope) is actually 2.5 degrees not 6.5. Correct?

Now when I lower it another inch or two and the driveshaft is level I may be in a worse situation but I think it looks okay now.
Correct. As I also mentioned. If you start at differential and say it points up, driveshaft is up and angle at trans is also up.
