Yes!
Install everything first and set the pinion angle with the suspension loaded and then weld the axle perches in to place. |

Re: welding rearend axle seats
Tools I used was a tape measure, two rafter squares and a degree finder. I used the rafter squares on the outside of the perches to get a true measurement to clear the center of the differential. All went smooth and was a great fit. IIRC one of the perches was about 1/8" off but that is fine in my book, I am not too picky :-). Good luck.

Re: welding rearend axle seats
I've always heard you set the ride height ( by jack stands or springs) and set your 3 degrees pinion angle and weld on! does any one make brackets for a 14 bolt coil spring setup??? I can weld just to lasy to make my own brackets!
