Default BMR Xtreme duty torque arm questions

Ok...the install is done. Compared to my recent Spohn torque arm, the BMR seems to higher in the front. It runs parellel to the driveshaft and everything is square, its just the nose of the torque arm where it bolts to the crossmember seems like its higher. Anyhow, since its higher, is the pinion angle going to be different? The reason I ask is because my Spohn torque arm sat pretty level as the BMR is point more upwards. If I'm measuring pinion angle alone, its a zero, but if I do driveline angle, then its at -2. What do I do about that?

Also, with a higher front mounting point, does the car want to wheelie less or more?

Thanks.

The lower the arm(up front)the harder/faster the hit on the rear tire, and the more the front end will try to come up.

-2* from 0 is still -2*..... yer good.

Still think you should've run the bar you already had
