OK, I need to finds out how you mounted your D60 to the passenge side spring (on a CJ). The pig has 2 bolts that go to the spring plate, but when I turn the pinion up, it wont line up.
Got any pics of what you did to yours to mount it?

Are you asking how do do the u-bolt on the spring over b/c the case is in the way or are you talking about shimming it to get the angle right? SOA or SUA? I got pics of the U bolt issue if that's what you need.

I am SOA and am cutting the the "C"'s off so I can correct the pinion angle and the caster.

The biggest thing is the u-bolt issue.

I just tacked a steel shim to the underside of my spring plate, so the plate and the pad on the diff were parallel again. Studs go straight in that way...

Cool, I was thinking about that.
Thanks!
