Pinion Angle for Slammed Trucks - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

KyleSeal · 04-12-2025, 10:21 AM

Im currently laying frame with a Porterbuilt front end and a DIY rear (step notch, factory arms, watts link) and am curious on pinion angle setup.

I have carte blanche when it comes to setting the transmission tail shaft height / angle, and am using a 2-piece driveshaft with the semi solid carrier bearing.

This is also with the CPP trailing arm crossmember.

What would the ideal transmission tailshaft angle be, along with the rear differential at ride height? I can adjust the rear with shims so if need be I will.
