Pinion angle with Air bags

[Nobaddaze]

What are you airbagged guys running for pinion angle? What is the stock angle supposed to be?

I was told along time ago that you were not supposed to have your driveshaft in perfect alignment with the pinion...you always want it to be a couple degrees off?? Is this correct?

How about angle change throuhout the entire travel??

Any help would be awesome


Thanks Guys

If it were me id set the pinion angles at whatever your ride height will be, usually the pinion gets set 1-2 degrees down to compensate for axle wrap under acceleration.

The output shaft on the tranny should be at the same angle as the input on the diff with the truck sitting empty and the air bags set for road travel.
