Changing front ride height or installing taller or shorter tires, front or rear has zero effect on the operating angles.

Exactly!

Yes. I agree also. But the original poster is not talking about a ride height adjustment with tires or even coilovers. He is working to build a chassis.

Yes, and when building a chassis the position of the pinion relative to the transmission is important, hence why he was asking about that in his original post. Then in post #2 you brought in talk of tires, which is why we are talking about tires at all..LOL
