So it's only the rear axle i'm adjusting to get that angle? I'm planning to do a Full Traction 3inch Ultimate lift, if i use your measurements for the control arms from your write up (center to center) would that set it where I need it? Or should i use the angle finder first and set my pinion before installing the control arms?

the measurements are pretty much the same on the lower arms. the upper fronts will need to be set according to your caster and the rear uppers set to where your drive shaft is in line with your pinion. i did this write-up a long time ago and i think the measurements on the TF lift might be more accurate.
oh, and to answer your specific question, use the angle finder to set your pinion angle and then set your upper arms to accomodate it.
