Yes it will increase the angle... you can do one of
2 things... put wedges in or cut the perches off
and re weld

The perches are not welded yet. I have the rearend sitting on the perches and bolted down,i read the articles and my understanding is line pinion up with trans,then rotate pinion down 4 deg and weld perches....just wanted to make sure im correct,thanks.
