welding perches on 8.8
So I have the ford 8.8 perches and a stripped 8.8. How can i figure out the drive shaft angle I need so I can weld them in the correct location?

Are you running an SYE?
If you are running an SYE, you want the pinion to be pointing just below the yoke on the transfer case.
If you aren't running an SYE, you want the pinion to be pointing parallel with the output shaft of the transfer case.

youre going to want to put the perches on the axle and axle under suspension and put some weight on it so you can see where it will be at/near ride height. Then tack it in place, remove, and weld the sucker up
