Question Quick question on adjusting pinion angle

So guys I got the BMR adjustable upper control arm and mounting bracket installed. Anyway I'm now to the point where I need to measure and if necessary adjust my pinion angle.

I'm clear on the procedure of actually performing the task of measuring and adjusting my question relates to loading the suspension. I'm planning on using ramps, which from what I read is no issue, however I was wondering where you guys were putting jackstands under the front. And how level does the car need to be?

Thanks guys, any input is appreciated, I've actually never done this before. It sure looks a lot easier on a lift, LOL, but whatever, I'm hardcore!

The front does not need to be jacked up and the car does not need to be level. You are measuring the difference between the DS and the pinion. As long as the rear is loaded that difference is the same regardless if the car is level or not.

I installed the BMR adjustable UPC and LCAs a few years ago, good stuff.

That's good news. I took measurements today actually, I had to load the rear end just to tighten some of the bolts. So I'll do that tomorrow no problem, thanks for the info no one ever really specified that in any of the posts I read.
