Re: what is my pinion angle????
I've always done it by taking the angle from the yoke coming off the tranny, and adding it to the angle of the rearend yoke. So, if you had -2 coming off the tranny yoke and -2 off the rearend yoke, the total pinion angle is -4 degrees. I've never done it using the driveshaft method, so I may be totally wrong. I've always set my trucks up (the ones I've lowered) for somewhere between -2/-4 degrees.
