No on the 5 degree, it screws up the handling and the Trinity bulkhead tends to transmit hard crashes into the chassis and break chassis. The XXX (normal, BK, BK2 or CR) or B2/3 brace works just as good, is cheaper and doesn't risk the chassis so much
XXX-CR rear end is only arms and hubs, the rest is the same. It works well especially with the last Jesse Robbers setup with that rear end (two diff, no clicker). My personal setup (a sort of older Robbers based setup w/ the clicker) runs the XXX-CR rear end with the standard (long) VLA and simulated XX-CR rear hub geometry.
Bones or CVDs (XXX, XXX-CR or XX4) will work, most people go with the bones, I personally run CVDs most of the time as I have plenty of steering and at SoCal it seemed to work better....
hope that helps.....
