LOL Mike. The shaft is new so there is no taper to it. It was made as a straight piece.

Granted I do have to remeasure everything but right now since the addition of the 2.5º shims, going by my original measurements, I should be 2º down at trans and 2º down at rear.

Adding that much more shim to the rear is advisable?

What if I took the washers out from the trans mount? Doing that should bring the trans closer to 0º right? Im confusing myself!!





Chris you could take the shim out of the tranny, I wouldn't do it, as it will tilt your exhaust downward more at the head pipe, possible interference between the oil pan and center link, and a host of other issues, and yes 4.5/5 degrees shim is a lot to stack, IMHO I'd cut the perches off the axle, install new perches without welding them, set it up in the car to where it needs to be 0 degrees if you keep the tranny at 2 degrees down, then finish weld it, then if need be you can play with 1-2 degree shims to raise or lower it based on roadtesting
