Trailing Arm Cross Member

I see that CPP now has a trailing arm cross member. If you look at it, it appears that they have moved the mounting holes for the trailing arms higher in the mount. I assume that this is what they call " correcting the pinion angle in lowered trucks " Is this enough difference from the one from ECE to really have any effect ?

Nope.
They are basically the same thing (ECE vs. CCP). The trailing arm brackets 'bolt-on' to the crossmember. You simply unbolt them & flip them side to side to relocate the mounting position higher.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I believe they're welded in place on the CPP unit.

Yep, they are welded in place on the CPP one. Flipping the mounts screws you over if you want to go lower then 4-5" in the rear. With the higher mounting point the trailing arms hit the frame rails much sooner, not allowing you to go low enough. That's why I will be selling mine!!!
