[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 436249, member: 18789"] Your angle looks pretty good eyeballing it but that can be deceiving. Your measurement spot on the driveshaft seems fine although you might want to move it a few inches over to the tube rather than the cap. At the axle, put it on the backside of the pumpkin, up against one of the cast circles on either side of The diff cover. That is for sure a perpendicular surface from the pinion so it would give you the angle perfectly. It may or may not be the same angle as where you’re measuring it on the snout. If you truly are 5-6° low, I’d figure out what pinion shims you have and get ones that are 1-2° thicker. But wait until you figure out the angles before doing that. I’m surprised your tcase drop caused a change of 9° difference. That is surprising and I don’t think mine made that much difference but it’s also been a while so maybe I just forgot. [/QUOTE]
