Do I need a diff drop ?

Hey guys,
Not sure if I'll need a diff drop at these angles.. Currently at a 3" lift, but with suspension sag from the steel bumber, not sure if it's really at that
Any help would be appreciated!

Angle on the first photo appears to be bigger mate.
based on that angle I would go with diff drop.

Angle in second picture looks a bit more acceptable.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Hard to source diff drops right now where I am, so I'd probably drop back down to 2 "

Jack it up and see if the CVs bind when you try to spin the wheel by hand.

Its nice to have the CVs level as they are stronger when straight but the real issue is too much droop which causes in the inner CV tripod to bind (3 times during a full rotation) - there is when you are at maximum risk of a CV failure.
