Where should I measure pinion angle from? What is the proper way?
I've got a digital level with a magnet on it. I find a way to get it flat and measure. I'm not super familiar with 2WD stuff, but if it's got a slip spline, you could pull that out a bit and put it on there. That's typically what I do. If it's a yoke/bolted on strap setup, you can just get a piece of angle iron, trill a couple holes, mount it, and then use that as your flat/parallel surface (just make sure the angle iron is actually at 90deg).

That's normally covered laterally by the manufacturer. The t-case output is typically not exactly in line with the differential.
Good point though!
