If you`re on multi leafs you want more like 5-7 nose down............
Yes, OEM replacement leafs + 1 helper leaf per side.
So unless I'm reading it wrong, going from what I measured, I should currently be at 3* down, correct?
Since most suggest between 5*-7*, lets say I go with 6* since it's a street/strip car.
Then 3* shims are what I need to install to get me there, correct?
In your video it looks almost like 0 then goes UP not good. Throw a 4 degree shim in there and redo a vid and post it.
When you say "0", are you referring the relation between the pinion and the output shaft or the pinion and the drive shaft?
This part really confuses me
From what I've read in all the angle guides, for me to get an actual parallel line between the pinion and the output shaft under load, the pinion would have to rise above the line of the drive shaft.
Here's an old video I made a while back using 6 degree shims

The pinion seems to line up fine with the drive shaft under load, but not too long after using the 6* shims, I took a good chunk out of the ring gear
