Rear sway bar and pinion angle
This past weekend I installed my metalcloak 2.5" arb lift, Tom Woods 1310 front and rear driveshafts, but when it came time to put the wheel spacers on I realized I ordered the wrong lug pattern. With out the wheel spacers i cannot run my rear sway bar, should I park it till I can get my sway bar connected or would it be alright to drive without it? Also what should the pinion angle be for the rear driveshaft now that i have adjustable uppers?

On the rear you want to put an angle finder on the bottom of the dif and on the driveshaft and get the degrees as close to the same as you can.

correct, i always used the flat part by the yoke and the female spline part of the driveshaft. As kjeeper said you want to be within 2 degrees. This more crucial on the rear as its low pinion, the hi pinion fronts are usually a compromise between caster and pinion.
