diff pinion angle

I'm putting a 12 bolt diff into my truck but I know it has to be set at a correct angle, so, how best to determine that when bolting my diff/u-bolts/trailing arms together?Thanks in advance, Lew

Re: diff pinion angle

4-6 degrees DOWN. You have to take the pinion angle and subtract the driveline angle or vise versa and thats your pinion angle. You can google it and get a diagram that explains it better. I went 4.
