when measuring your pinion angle and setting it, using the driveshaft method, say I wanted -2 deg is that the difference between the two angles or the sum of.

Im pretty sure its the difference but just checking [Big Grin] [patriot]

frame lift, not a problem, but you need the chassis lift, it would take an hour to get everything off and out from under it

tire ramps in the front and jackstands under the rear will work fine

sal just meant not with the tires hanging with the frame on jackstands
