Measure Pinion Angle?
So I have a ~5" lift on my XJ with short arm drop kit until I work up to long arm and it honestly didn't improve driving at all. I'm now thinking that I still don't have a good angle for my axle.
What's the proper angle I should be at?
How do I find my current angle?
Would the fix be as simple as adjusting my LCAs (possibly UCAs?) I need to purchase new UCAs and wondering if adjustable ones would be worth my money.

I bought a RC X series 4.5" lift. Yes upper and lower control arms are adjustable. But not to be fooled. Not as easy as it seems. Had I known what I know now Id gone long arm. Short arm is still a great kit. But that extra cost for adjustability wouldve gone a long way on long arms.
