Default Suspension set up

I have ordered alot parts in the last week. I am putting everythin in this weekend. Here is the parts list,
Weld rts 71
Mickey thompson 315/35/17 rear drag radials
Mickey thompson 275/40/17 front tires
Moser fab 9
Moser torque arm
Moser cross member
Moser double adjustable lca's
Moser double adjustable pan hard bar
Bmr drive shaft saftey loop
Bmr 2 pt subfram connectors (i have 3 pt sub fram connectors not installed)
Bmr xtreme rear sway bar.
Pst 3.5 drive shaft
I am staying with stock shocks and springs for now. When I do the front suspension I will be switching to coil overs. Hopefully this happens over the winter.

My question is what do I set the pinon angle at? Do I measure from the torque arm or the drive shaft. Where should I set the lcas at in the lca mounts? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Pinion angle should be set at about -1 from the driveline angle (as measured from the crank or transmission) with those LCAs. As for LCA angle, that is very subjective, but the arms should be level or slightly uphill from the axle to the body
