Default Driveshaft Alignment

I have finished rebuilding my differential and most of the suspension. Now, I need to align the driveshaft. I had one of the alignment tools made, and given the position of the exhaust, I believe I will need to remove it to access the driveshaft for alignment. From what I can see, this seems necessary unless someone has a better suggestion or alternative solution.

Yeah I just did this last month on mine. Had to drop the center section of exhaust to get the weights to line up freely.

It's all done. I used the weight method, which, although not very scientific, seemed to work. It actually felt like it rested in the old position. I took it out for a drive to 110MPH, and there were no vibrations, and nothing fell off or broke. So, I guess it was a success.

I never knew that this was a thing. Something to look forward to, I suppose.
