Pinion angles

How the hell will I do them?

I'm gonna be adding a four inch lift later on this ummer when a job comes, and I really have to know how to adjust pinion angles. I got a 90 B2 with a 7.5 rear and I think a 35 front, so its common stuff. Will I have to completely remove center section or differential for adjustment?

Since the front is a high pinion you should'nt have to worry about the angle. Some rear lift blocks come with the proper angle cut into them. If not you will have to get some wedges that sandwich inbetween the axle and the lift block. Almost all the lifts with the wedges, I have seen them walk out (or twist) from their origninal location. I don't recommend them. Try to get the angled block. My pro-comp lift came with those.

The best way IMO is to cut the perches off and reweld them where they need to be.

Yep have to agree not too hard if you have a welder.

PINION ANGLES SHOULD BE OK WITH A 4".... KITS USUALLY COME WITH WEDGED BLOCK FOR THE REAR

Yea I saw the angled blocks and liked it as a "for now...." use

, but i might just mess with the springs later. Are u shure that the front will be ok as is, because that makes it even better...

my 86 BII has a 4" lift with stock front driveline and it's fine.... have you got a kit yet? if not, we can get you a screaming deal on a rough country kit.... comes with lowered pitman arm, and shocks
