Topic: REAR PINION ANGLE QUESTION!?

[95runnerNW]

Doing a coil to leaf conversion on my 95. Read different stuff about where to put my rear pinion angle. High angle says if I dont have a double cardan(I dont) then to put the flanges parallel, but I also read to point the pinion flange at the T case then weld the perches?? Any help would be appreciated

line it up with the t case thats it... i did the same thing

I rolled mine up i think it was 13 degrees, and have no vibration. Before i rolled it up i did vibrate.

thanks will do..i got 6" springs hope the rear dont sit too high i'm sure it'll settle tho..

I rotated my brothers 4runner at the same angle and he has 5" springs.  His has been on the road with the same set up for about 10 years with no driveline issues.

hey im havin the same issue, is the 13 degrees at full drop? I got 13 at drop and 10 with weight on new springs..should settle to maybe 8??  doesnt seem too drastic, ive seen worse!

The double cardinal lets you run the pinion at any angle you want because it uses two u joints to counter any vibration, if you dont use it you need to run the two u joints with the flanges parallel if you dont want vibration.
