On cars with coil-spring rear ends it9s difficult unless you have adjustable length trailing arms on the top or bottom. Correct on the propshaft angle - but on many cars, the transmission output shaft is on the car centerline, while the differential yoke is offset about an inch to one side or the other so that the overall differential assembly is on-center and the same rear axles can be used on both sides of the car. In that case, the constant lateral offset is enough to give the U-joints the articulation they need. I don9t know if the Ford axle is in that category but it would also depend on if the axles have been shortened from stock.
