Shims for rear pinion angle

[cwylie]

It should not be uphill as the torque arm is actually almost perfectly level to the ground.

Correct, but if the output on the trans is lower than the pinion then the DRIVE shaft will be up hill.
and it can't be really out because then the drive shaft will hit the front cross member.
are you using a 12 Bolt or 9"
what trans Cross member are you using
what subframe
what Engine

9 inch rear end I purchased from you all. Stock subframe with an LS engine with the holley swap motor mounts, and trans mounts.

So
if you have a smart phone. search Tremec and they have an APP that walks you through all the angles. start with that.

then let me know what you have.
you should really not need any shims at the pinion mount.

Ok I will give that app a shot. I still have to get my drive shaft. Just to make sure a 3.5 inch drive shaft will clear everything on the torque arm correct?

Yes it will but it is a little over kill unless you have 700+ hp

It's gonna be up there in that range at the crank.
