There was a forum on this it had a picture of how the angle should be?Is there an angle tool of how much angle you should need?

The picture is just a reference, not an exact angle. If you are referring to a single driveshaft, find the angle of the tranny output, and set the pinion angle to the Equal Opposite Angle. So for example, if the tranny points DOWN 2 Degrees, Set the pinion pointing UP 2 degrees. Do all of this at ride height of course.

As for the tool, most people use the $10 angle finders from Lowes/Home Depot/Ace.

If I left anything out im sure others will help out and add to it. 2 Piece driveshafts are a little more confusing. Hope I helped some.. good luck.

Ok if I had the angle tool,do I place this on the driveshaft closes to the rear differential?Iam confused as hell now.

I unbolt the driveshaft at that end to save confusion. Sure there might be flat spots on the housing, but i dunno if its exactly the same as the pinion. Unbolt it, hold the angle finder flat against the nose of the differential.

yea, once you have the driveshaft unbolted.. well at least on my yota and my friends hardbody, youll be looking at just a circle piece that it bolts to.. and its flat.

What do you need a tech article on, if its the basics of air ride.. check this site out, it helped me when i first started learning. Bagginit.com also just keep asking questions, no matter how simple they might be.
