Yes, pinion angle should be checked if the nose of the TA is moved. If you select the holes in the bracket that place the arm at the stock height, pinion angle will stay the same.

The 3rd or 4th hole up from the bottom is going to be right around the factory location. Now every car is different depending on the ride height so initially set it up in the 3rd or 4th hole from the bottom and measure the pinion angle. If it isn't in -2 to -3 degree range adjust it move it a hole up or down. Keep doing this until you find the location that get you in the -2 to -3 pinion angle range.

What is best for the OP might not be what is best for you but the stock location should be right around the 3rd or 4th hole from the bottom but since you are lowered also I would probably start in the 3rd hole too. . Since you have an adjustable torque arm you can take advantage of using any of the holes on the crossmember so make sure to play around with it and find out what your car really likes. The higher you mount the torque arm on the crossmember the harder it will hit the tires but it won't carry the power out as far. The lower you mount the torque arm on the crossmember the softer it will hit the tires but the further it will carry the power out.

Just a heads up, The car sat really high from the factory, but now has a nice stance after the BMR springs Here are some pics for comparison. So even after the spring swap I think it should still hook decent after some suspension tweaks.

Correction...It use to sit 4x4 now it sits perfect but it is not slammed is what I am getting at.
There use to be serval from the Fort that posted hear but not so much anymore. I do not get out north much anymore on the weekends. Normally just cruise around out South West.

Since you are lowered I would start off in 3rd hole from the bottom and go from there. Once you find the set of holes that puts you in that -2 to -3 pinion angle range you will be good to go.
