9 inch pinion angle

I am installing my brackets for my four link soon. I was hoping someone could give me some insight on pinion angle. I know I need to set the rear at a certain angle at static ride height, so under load I have the correct running angle. And obviously I'm lost after that!

4 to 6 degrees is normally sufficient,But with the 4-link you won't have as much "wrap-up" so you might can get away with a tad less.Good luck

Pinion angle is a direct relationship to transmission angle, the pinion angle needs to be with + or - 1 degree of pitch from one to the other, so if you transmission is measuring 4 degrees the pinion angle should measure 4 degrees, not more than 5 not less than 3. This is to cancel out vibration, keep pinion parallel with the transmission, example, transmission pointing down 4 degrees, pinion facing up 4 degrees. Hope this helps, Broken Wire
