throwing off pinion angle?

I will be installing Strano springs, rear drag shocks, and weld-on lca relocation brackets this weekend. What I want to know is will that throw off the pinion angle that's already set? It has double adj. lca's and the rearend is centered but am wondering about the pinion angle because I had to pay a local shop to set it last time since I don't have the angle finder($50 so I would like to avoid paying again). Will the pinion angle be ok as long as the torque arm isn't adjusted at all?

if you change the heigth at all it changes the pinion ang if you are capable of changing shocks and springs go buy an angle finder and reset that also not a big job

Hello
Like mentioned above! Anytime you have a stock torque arm and you change the ride height of the vehicle it is hard to say what your pinion angle will be. Some people can get away with using the stock arm. But if you are looking for maximum performance I would highly suggest going with a adjustable torque arm to allow you to adjust the pinion angle.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
