I have a 92 explorer 8.8 im swapping in to my 86 ranger extended cab.
My question is for those who have done it already what did you set your pinion angle at? I know in the tech section it says 6 degree's, i was told by a ford mechanic to set it at 2 degree's. I have a 2 piece drive line at this point but i plan on swapping it to a 1 piece soon also.

any advice is helpful :icon_cheers:
 
I set mine at 6 degrees, i'm running 6" of lift with a 1 piece shaft with no problems. I measured the pinion angle on the stock 8.8 I pulled out and it was 6 degrees as well.
 
It all depends really on more than just the amount of lift.
 
Just measure the old one and match the new one to it, you can always shim it if it needs adjusting.
