I believe if the pinion angle is off you will end up with ruining the diff. There are videos from AM about what the pinion angle should be and how to measure/adjust it should you need to. Being that the drop is 1.5 rear you might be fine with the pinion angle.

If the angle is severe enough it can, most of the time improper pinion angle affects traction and driveline efficiency.
