    Its hard to tell on the first, but the second looks too much. If you just put them on let them settle for a couple weeks and check again, its not worth it to worry now if its going to sag later

    Sorry, that's what came to mind reading your title.

    Yeah, the look a little steep.

    what doesnt looks good? is it the actual angle of the axle or the rubbing of the boot fins?

    A few bolts are different.
    You dont want the Boot fins touching. this will also make the angle less steep.

    ok, so the angle of the axle is fine (its in a acceptable operating range), its just that the fins are touching (which is bad) :)

    The angle it still a bit steeper than I would like to run. All leads to premature wear.

    Plus with the axles at that much angle, there is nearly zero down travel.
