Drivetrain Angles

[Z06vet]

the 2* down on the tailshaft should be fine. You need to get the pinion angle to 0-2* UP. Likely will have to use some axle shims to achieve this. With leaf springs there is more flex (wrap-up) than say with a 3 or 4 link. I would guess you would ideally want the pinion around 1* up. Once the driveshaft is installed, you can add your working angles together to tweak things further. From what I understand its best not to have the driveshaft sloping up from the tailshaft toward the pinion. I am no expert at this and there are many on here much more knowledgable than I. But this should get you generally in the right direction. Scott
