Also do some checking on your location points and you can use some of online calculators to figure instant center and antisquat if you haven't already.
I bought some UMI lower control arm brackets to lower the the arms down at the axle tube. So im working on getting the IC in the ballpark. They told me before i start welding them in , i have to make sure the pinion angle is right. So im starting with getting the angle right first . Right now as it sits the lower arms are parallel to the ground. Im trying to get some angle on them ..
