Matt, I have to do some digging around. I know I have an article bookmarked for the pinion angle. If I can't find it, there are a couple shops local to me that has the info. I already have a pinion angle gauge.

I went with the UPR Upper and lowers....and I also got the Axle bushings and bolt kit from them as well...

Great Products...Great Price. They have adjustables too....but they cost a little more $$

Get the UPR solid upper and lower, at $199 it a great deal. I got there bolt kit and I liked the stock bolts better. You would need the housing bushings too.

The stock bolts have a bigger head base. Same size wrench, but they are made to use with no washers self locking I think. The bolt kit are the kind you would buy at the store that uses flat and locking washers. I would say use the stockers.
