no pics but set your pinion angle first then tack on the lowers then do the top... pull out from under vehicle and finish burning it all in

I set my pinion angle to stock but I'm sure others will argue..there are negatives to angled.Really no pictures. I cut the lowers off the stock 8.8 and weld them on the 9" bottom center to eye.then build coil perch
's some use pipe others use flat steel+pipe some variation of that.The top ears are usually purchased aftermarket I bought mine from AFAB METAL WORKS for the precise circle that I am unable to cut.But the bushings NEED to come from O'Reilly's.(at least for the afab's)I put the rear end in the car with bottoms and coils/shocks then I mark where I want the top ears also this helps with setting pinion angle aswell. Best explanation without pictures.

We do the same as comet cyclone. We like our pinion angle tilted slightly up. That way it would take longer for it to dig into the ground. I had a good pic on my old phone but lost it when I got a new one. Just measure alot and make sure its centered.

I have been going 5 degrees up. Good angle with good floor clearance at the driveshaft. Too much pinion angle and it might put the shaft into the floor depending on how low your running the rear.
