AHH yes, I forgot about the traction side of things. I knew the pinion isn't supposed to point up, but I work under a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality most of the time. don't mind me, carry on.

Do you suffer from any wheel hop??? and what kind of shape are your u-joints in?? My truck wasn't as off as your is but it hopped all over the place wore out u-joints and (B/C I'm a dumbass) caused me to break a driveshaft

but i figured if it was going to go it would of by now, but still better safe then sorry

i got a litte wheel hop on the track with the slicks. more like 3-5 good jumps then hook. still got 1.69's so it wasnt horrible. on the street it didnt hop. now i have caltracks and drag radials so even with the jacked up pinion angle it shouldnt hop. u-joints still look good, i get no vibes yada yada. everything looks good mechanically...the angle is just wrong.
