but when bars where parallel it didn't seem like pinion angle changed at all??

if you do what I said above, about mocking it up with paper, use pins as the pivots, you will easily answer these questions for yourself. in engineering we have a saying: "engineers will argue for an hour about something that could be tested in 5 minutes" mock it up with paper, you will be able to simulate longer bars, different attaching points, unequal bars, pinched bars, all of it. literally a 5 minute test. better than that, you will see it for yourself, way better than trying to interpret words on a screen

Here is the update on driveline tunnel I thought I had posted this already

Nice truck! Im going to start on my 45 1/2 ton soon and Im wandering which IFS kit you used ? Also what rear end ? I been looking at the Heidts MII kit no drop spindle and also found a 84 camaro 10 bolt rear. The camaro rear has a good width 60" but i dont like the fact that its so weak.
