I have 21" with e4od. I notched the frame, pushed the rear back 2" and it cycles fine. The 64s help cause the diff rotates upward quite a bit as it drops out. The CV on the trans is maxed out but the extra travel is gained in more so on the bump gained through notching.

Do you think a HP9 pinion bearing will survive without a pump in out application with the pinion pointed up at the sky?

Well, it your looking for max angle out of your DS, that means you won't have a cardan joint anymore and your pinion shouldn't be pointed at the sky.
