This morning, I set the pinion angle, and tack welded the perches in place. I was shooting for 2 degrees negative pinion angle, but 2.1 degrees is close enough.

After lunch, I'll tack weld the lower shock mounts to the axle housing, and then I can get it out from under the Jeep and prep it for paint. The plan is to spray one coat of my favorite heavy duty epoxy primer, Dupont Corlar 2.1 ST, and one or two coats of Dupont Imron satin black.
