Pinion Shaft Out Of Alignment

Ok so my pinion shaft is out of alignment, the front is lowered with the torsion bars and the back is lowered with 3" blocks and only 2 leaf springs. I have two options: I could put 4" angled blocks in the back or just raise the front up a bit. If I raise the front up will this initially fix my problem and will it affect my front end alignment?

If you like the way it sits get you some 3 inch angled blocks. Raising the front wont do anything I dont think.

I actually would like the back to be lower so your saying the 4" angled blocks are the way to go...?

so i cant get 4" angled blocks. i was wondering about shims and if they would be better or worse than blocks? also how can i determine how much of an angle i need if i were to go with shims?

so I was driving my truck today and threw her into neutral at about 100km to notice any change in the howl, and ya no there was no change. so does this determine if it is just the pinion angle or does this create new possible problems?

sounds like possibly the carrier bearing. Alot of times they will only make noise while under a load.
