Cut and rotate your knuckles.

[b_ripper8]

If you rotate your knuckles, your pinion angles will be wherever you want it.

I don't even know if there's a place that will do it for you. Try searching around for instructions on here and Pirate. If you're not handy with a welding machine, you can shim to correct your pinion angle.

Have your alognment checked by a local shop.  Many shops will put your rig up on the rack and check what everything is set at for free.  Put shims under your springs to get the castor back in speck and that will help the pinion angle aw well.

whats the down fall on rotating the knuckles

[b_ripper8]

Takes time and measuring. After welding your pinion angle is once again set like it was before.

Figure out where the angle needs to be. Build a jig to hold your knuckles in the same place, cut them off, reweld and be done
