Transmission and transfer case yokes exit parallel to the crankshaft. If angles are in excess of 7 degrees, the builder would have to lower the engine, transmission and transfer case several inches.But the "go anywhere" capability would be decreased because the vehicle would be wider and the durability of spindles and wheel/axle bearings decreased due to the leverage imposed against them by the offset wheels..

so what if you went say 3" susp. lift and 4" body lift... no spacers etc., (under 3") , and the 4" body? that would allow for larger tire sizes and greater wheel travel. the HCOG would be minimal and easily compensated for with slight outset on the rims, and angle change would be within tolerance, would it not?
