lifted blazer pinion angles

I have a skyjacker 4" on my 72 K5 and the rear driveshaft pinion angle is bothering me. My driveshaft angle is 16 degrees from level, my transfer case is down 3, and my differential is up 6. This puts the front u-joint at 14 degrees which is a lot.

I've searched this forum and found many people running 4" lifts on their K5s but no one talked about pinion angle. What should I do to fix this? The short wheelbase of the blazer makes pinion angle a tough problem to solve.

I think the 4" skyjacker lift uses 6" lift springs in the back so the blazer has sort of a "muscle car" slope.
