Pinion offset

I measured the pinion angle of the 2000 Explorer diff I installed in my 1950 F47, before removing it from the Explorer frame; measured to be 8 degrees.

all that would change depending on what front and rear suspension changes you did, and alterations to frame height. s

Hope this helps; my O-pinion only

What I had meant was the offset from the frame center, not the pinion angle.

You can get a flange addapter, " National Drive Train, Spicer P/N 2-2-1379." I got this info from a jeep site.

HUH??? offset will not matter. It will land where it lands. Just be certain ro center the axle in the chassis sise to side. The center of the pinion will be offset to the right ( Passenger) just as in the Exploder. Look at the pinion article in J.Niolon gallery. Just fillow the directions. Mine is 3 degrees by the way. My eng/tran is 2 inches to the right ( Volare), the pinion center is about 4" to the right.

Thanks but the four inches will not work for me. The way I want to mount the air spring brackets, one will interfere with the center section.

Well Tronic, perhaps I'm confused, I just went out to my truck and took a look at the exp rear, and then a friend then brought a set of bags over and there is LOTS of room. I now wonder what you are refering to. You may note that a lot of rear drive cars are offset due to ring size/location. Many offset 9" ford rears are bagged. Maybe you should look at the "Shockwave" at: www.ridetech.com PS I have dig pics of a top view with no bed on. E-M on request. E.L.
