I have been researching driveline angles and am a bit still confused on exactly what I need to set my rearend and transmission angles at. I spoke with the company making my driveshaft and they told me they usually try to shoot for 2* down at the trans tailshaft and 0 to 1* down at the pinion. I am running Ridetech Airbar with coilovers at all 4's. What do I set them at?

Looks great!

Is there a bluish gray coating on the tubs or is that a camera deception?

I was wondering whose tubs you used as I have not followed your thread all along, then I saw you were going to split and widen the OE and thought NO WAY, that looked too good!

Read on to where you decided to use DSE.

Thanks...lol, I got lazy and just ordered a set The blueish grey your seeing is Dupont epoxy primer. My whole car is coated in it. I primed the tubs prior to installing them. Keeps them from flash rusting and helps already having them coated once installed.

Yeah, I have a bit of a gap where I cut out too much metal at the rear of the tub. I'll finish welding it all there once I get it up on the rotisserie. It's just plug welded at the moment. Just like the factory did it

I take that back, I forgot. I have to fill in a gap at the rear of the tub in the trunk and I'm going to use some Lord Fusor body adhesive instead of stitch welding it there.
