No! This is a common mistake people make.

It destroys the caster angle on the front axle.

On the rear UJs on the propshaft will no longer be in phase and will fail prematurely.

Weld the new SPOA perches on parallel to the existing SPUA perches. :doublethumbs:

Angle the diff upwards to reduce the angle on the prop/ujs?

No, especially not on the front, it'll throw your steering geometry out.
