Thanks Jbulach. The transfer case seems level with the frame for both front and rear outputs. I don't think it is tilted back...that's not mentioned in what I read that I can recall (I'll do some searching). Yea, it would be relative to the angle of the TC.
If you have info that it is...
That sounds reasonable letssled. I moved my project to this thread;

Check out post number 8. I calculated the pinion angle using no or parallel blocks for the perch with the 105 springs and...
Thanks Shannon for taking those photo's. It's difficult to see the driveshaft angle in relation to the angle of the pinion, but it appears to point about straight to the output of the TC, somewhat up hill. Picture 3 makes it look like it could angle up 10 degree.
When I search pinon angle...
Shannon, is it possible to take a side shot (picture) of the angle up on yours? Can you see the angle of the U-joint face and driveshaft on yours?
The M105 that my springs came off of was a rebuild that I believe had new springs. I can see once they are reassembled the middle of the spring...
I have these tapered steel bars that I'm making the axle perch with. Cut is made where it's 1" and at 6" long, it is 1 1/4". That calculates to about 2.8 degree. The block will have to be milled for bolt.
Hows that for a well fed cat.
More information. I measured the angle of the spring mounting face at 5.36 degree upward facing. So to make it parallel with no load, I would need a spacer-saddle that tapers that amount. But under full deflection, that angle is less, so a taper that large would make it less than parallel...
I have the same question, so am bringing this up in hopes of having a more complete answer and discussion now that more people have bobbed them.
I too am using the M105 spring and it looks like there is maybe 8 degree. I could be wrong and it only be 4 degree as mentioned above, mine is not...
