So exactly how do yal get your shaft angles without actually having ur shafts in? I have built one lift but could prolly get another 8 degrees outa my shafts. Im thinking about building another an would lik to have my math right this time so its not so wide

you can use two stock cups and a protractor to get the angle close.. its may be better to stay reserved in angle, and adjust shock mounts if ya need to..
If the diff and spindles center the axles (or close to it) between the arms, then the arm angle will be the same/very close too the axle bar/joint angle. If you do arched arms, then just hold a section of tubing from between the pivot center lines(bushings & ball joints) and check that way.
Otherwise, like as jg said, use a stock axle to approximate off of. If You happen to have a junk stocker, cut it in half and slide a sleeve over it to set the length, then you can bolt it in place and check the angle.
Personally, I go the opposite way. Get the axle length I want and then build the arms to suit the axles. Much easier.
