73 how to center axle? and pinion help!

[Joseph_siller]

Im building a 73 and I bought a pro touring deluxe kit from cpp and that means I have to remove the leaf springs and install a center cross member to attach to the trailing arms that bolt to the rear end. Can anyone tell me the specs to center my rear end because right now I'm a quarter inch off from side to side and we can't adjust it because the driveline will hit the center piece of the cross member if I go any more. and also not sure how to set the pinion angle it will be lowered a lot I think 6 inches from stock maybe even more.

I’m not going to begin offering suggestions, . But if you think about it, it’s only 1/8” off, which really isn’t that bad to be honest. As far as the pinion angle, I did a flip kit on mine and did t have to shim the pinion. It was roughly a 6” drop.
