Pinion angle on stands

[bmyles]

Hey guys just wondering how you guys are setting your pinion angle with the car on jack stands. I thought about raising the car till the frame rail was level?? Also what pinion angle should I be looking for, the car is not lowered but has a dynotech d/s. I am doing the Uca and mount so I figured I should make sure my angle is good while I am at it . Thanks

Its best to set pinion angle with the weight of the car on the tires. Ramps, blocks, drive - on lifts, etc.

Thanks for the replies guys, I was. Looking for a way to insure my car was level on the stands more than anything , like a reference point to go off ie the frame rail? Then set my angle .
