when put in drive it seems to me that the rear end rolls forward excessively, putting the driveshaft at a severe angle with the rear end and un-warranted stress on the pinion and seal. The shackles and shocks are new and nothing else seems to be amiss.

Check that the axle "U" bolts are tight, the diff housing may be twisting.
