Pinion angles in different madel Jeeps

[xjintx]

A friend of mine asked me and I ad no idea... so I'm asking here as you have a lot more knowledge and experience than me

He is asking how he can find the different pinion angles for the different jeep models?

He is workin on a project that he wants to know the difference so he can build properly.

Any help appreciated!

What's he building? Front or rear axle? Double or single cardan drive shaft. It's not just a cut and dry 3 degree or 6 degree thing. There are many variables and we would need to know some more info tongive you an exact measurement or idea

Thanks and yes he realizes there are variables for what he needs. he just wants to know the stock difference between models with the same axles like D30 & 35 but longer or shorter wheelbases for a starting or reference.

He's into building suspension components himself ???? and thought I might know a source listing them for jeeps.

The only jeeps you could swap axles around that might utilize a different pinion angle would be old cj axles
Swapping wheel bases from say tj to xj you would have to swap mounting setups so original piñon angle would be a mute point.
A far as resources go i don't personally know any.....
