I've got a 52 1/2 ton with a Camaro rear and stock springs. I have the rear end off;I'm putting in new shackles and U-bolts over the axle.
My question is:With the spring perches allready welded on the axle tubes and you tighten every thing up,how do you adjust the pinion angle?
The PO did the swap,and it drives just fine the way it bolts-up.Am I just lucky? The spring perches are stock Camaro.

You can use shims like they use to align the front end. Angles should be close to parallel, or the pinion a couple-three degrees down from to being paralle, but I might leave it alone if it's close and working fine.
