There will be some pinion angle change depending upon the total range traveled. Where do you have the bags located? How much travel from full up to completely down?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I just change the
pinion angle so it would sit at a -7 deg. But when raised it sit at -15 degree
bags located over axel. With a bridge

Re: airbag

I think the only angle that matters is the one your at when your truck is at ride height. It doest matter what the angle is when is just sitting on its frame.

Re: airbag

It will move when you mash on the gas also. If you have your bed off go drive around and watch much the angle changes. Thats why the driveline has a slip yoke in it.
