I hate to bring this back from the dead, but anyone have any pics of the offset plate hole that they drilled in the lower plate? I am still trying to picture why you need to drill a offset hole. i am guessing that it moves the axle foward to much on a flip? do you drill the top perch too? I see the mopar ones are off .625".

You drill the perch that your bolt to the axle. theres no need to drill the plate. when flipping the axle, you need to push the axle back towards the rear bumper to center everything back up.

Is anyone able to tell me what the proper pinion angle should be when doing a flip?

I went with -4 because I'm running caltracs. Without traction bars, you'd prob want a little more, like -6.
