Finally thought I'd attempt the right move and find the pinion angles after the block and spindle lift and see how close the RC tappered blocks bring everything close or within range ! Or if I'll need to shim the blocks and bring the pumpkin up or down .
I calibrated the digital finder with a good Level first at 0.00

I Read from flat spots on the upper and lower sides of the diff yoke at 870° degree and also on the rear point of the drive shaft itself and got 580° degree
The trans tail shaft seal reads 470°degree
The flat spot on front input yoke is at 5.00° degree

870 ? There's 360 degrees in a circle. You want to be understood, proof read your post first. " Will they understand my questions?" Don't use slang, it's to easily misunderstood.

I already pointed all of this out in another thread your currently posting this in. Specifically using decimal points! Stuff matters.

You may not get a response instantly. Somebody that has an answer for you might also be busy with their life. Posting the same thing again splits your information and could get missed. If nobody has an answer, you wait.
Have referred to the FSM at all on axle install adjustment. Have you checked any driveshaft setups, and pinon angles.?
The Rock crawl guys worry about high angle bind,.

Sorry I don't understand how to use that or if I'm even inputing the correct numbers in the correct place on that calculator.. I have comprehending issues .. I also had asked if I was even getting these values from the correct spots on the drivetrain..Per my illustrated photos , someone could at least let me know if the way I placed the angle finder is correct
