How Bad Are My Rear Pinion Angles?

Lesson learned for me the hard way - once you set your pinion angles make sure your double adjustable UCA's don't shake loose and set their own angles. Lost a set of rear shocks that way and had to "eyeball" my pinion angle adjustment on the trail. Thankfully Mac had a tape measure so I could get the UCAs the same length. No rear shocks, no problem for another 10+ miles of trail and then 10 miles home on the highway.

I adjusted my rear axel 2 weeks ago as far as I could before I'd interfere with my shocks to get close enough to the transfer case angle. I'm pretty much where I can live with the tiniest bit of vibrations. It has however smoothed things out drastically. I also have my belly flush to the frame and have a 241 case with a 4" lift.

That's a whole nother level of head ache and problems down the road. Fox shocks on the way.
