You can make minor Pinion angle adjustments with a torque arm relocation kit... But often times the adjustment needs to go beyond what the crossmember will allow. Unfortunately there is no cheap and easy way to adjust that angle.

That's what I had figured... I always had (And liked) the stock ride height, so I never needed to change it. Eventually, I will go with coil overs and full suspension, but for now it looks like I will just have to pony up some coin.
Thank you.
Thank you.

So after much consideration today, and looking forward... I think I should go with a coil over set up and just bring it up to stock height.
These are something I want anyways, along with the torque arm, but having long tubes and only 2.4 inches of clearance on Nevada roads just plain sucks.

These seem like a decent bang for the buck option and will correct my issues for the time being.
Thoughts? And thanks again for all the help. I've been out of this game for so long it's not funny.

Looking through the Summit listing, that doesn't include a front spring, or is sold each... Kind of confusing. With a spring included it's generally over $400 for the front kit. This Viking Double Adjustable is what many people are going with lately.
The rear springs I can't speak for, I've never seen anyone run them.

Ah, didn't realize that. For the price, might as well go with the Viking Kit. What is you experience on the X-Cross springs for daily driving? I don't care so much about the ride quality, I just want to make sure it has clearance and improves the handling for when I do hit the twisties.

The autocross springs are generally 550lb with that kit. That's very close to say a Strano lowering spring rate or even BMR lowering springs. It won't rattle you to death, but it will definitely be stiffer. Clearance wise you have nothing to worry about unless you plan to slam it.
