Pinion angle help please? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Have a 4/6 drop on the 72. Springs on the back. It has been a few years since I did this and as I am going back through the truck I am wanting to check my pinion angle again to make sure that it is good. How exactly do I do this again? I know I did it initially but dont remember exactly. And what do I want at the tail shaft and at the pinion. I have heard of people flipping the trailing arm mounts, would this be beneficial for me? Havent noticed vibration or noise but I am always paranoid haha.
