Pinion angle
 
Can someone tell me how to set the pinion angle on a coil spring /trailing arm truck. Is there spacer kits you can buy ,like for a leaf sprung truck, to adjust it ? right now mine is almost straight,should it not be pointing down 3-5 degrees?Thanks for your help

Is it lowered? If so how, and how much? This info will help get a more accurate answer.

sorry I forgot to add that.It has 2 1/2 inch drop spindles in front,2 inch drop springs,and Nitro drop shocks,The back is a 6 inch drop spring with Nitro drop shocks and ECE adjustable super panhard bar,as well as shock relocators.So 4 1/2 front/ 6 back and pinion seems to be almost straight.Thanks for the help, Brian

I could be wrong...I am sure someone will point out my mistake if I am....but you could flip the trailing arm mounts over, thus raising the front of your trailing arms and helping your pinion angle problem. Just an idea that may help you out.
