    I've never had to mess with pinion angle before.....is -3 alright, or should it be something different....the truck is a daily driver, and will see as much track time that I can once I buy an FLT trans and eventually a TVS blower.....I know I have to "play" with the shock settings to get my truck to squat right.....just not really sure what to do with the pinion angle....

    -3 is good. Anything positive is bad.

    a piece of all-thread and a large diameter socket works as a device to draw the bushing through the spring. The hardest part will be getting the old bushing out.

    Torch and burn it out. And when you cut the out part of the bushing that touches the spring you just have to be good enough to cut it with out getting the spring to hot.
    Step 1. crus at it.
    Step 2. get a hammer.
    Step 3. torch it.
