To All:

I will send pics as the truck makes progress.

To answer the pinion angle question---I am a fuss pot about pinion angle. The FTS kit I got includes a longer front driveshaft which IS a must on all lift kits as far as I am concerned.

The rear angle is different from stock but is almost compensated for by the angle of the rear changing upward. On larger lifts, you need an extended rear driveshaft also. Do not let anyone tell you differently.

I install these kits and milder ones on other H2s and trucks. I am adressing the final pinion angle once it gets warmer here and I get my lift (garage lift).

If anyone is interested, I will tell you about what adjusting torsion bars does to your rig--be careful with the adjustment or face issues related to camber, sway bar adjustments and u-joints. Hell on tires, stablity, and u-joints.
