While adjusting your upper arms, keep in mind that the upper arm lengths dictate the left to right positioning of your rearend housing, so take measurements from your tires to your wheel well lips to make sure you are centered.

Maybe I am just looking at this all wrong... I dunno, but it seems like with the spherical upper bushings that the angle of the pinion changes as it rotates around. I know for sure that the length is not changing as the jam nuts on the uca's are locked down but I can twist both of my uppers all around laterally as they just move on the spherical balls on both ends.
I just changed over from weight jackers to team z for the lowers, and it had a drastic effect on my pinion angle. I havnt screwed around with it yet though to try and get it back. I never realized it but my weight jackers were adjusted to just over 18 inches. I installed the team z's at 17.5, which from what I understand is where they should be to start, and then adjust it from there as you stated with wheel well measurements etc to make sure it is centered on the chassis correct? Then adjust the uppers to correct the pinion angle correct? Or do I have that backwards?
