Pinion Angle

If your truck is lowered or bagged, what angle do you run your pinion angle at?

Any pics?

Re: Pinion Angle

Same angle as the trans output at ride height.

So you're saying parallel to the ground then? The trans output is straight out the back (obviously)

It may be straight out the back, but usually its down a degree, or up a degree from parralel to the ground. That's the angle you're going to put the pinion at.

Re: Pinion Angle

What he said!^^^ Put an angle finder on the end of the trans yoke, then match that angle on the pinion yoke.
