RC or CC?
to be honest, I wouldn't correct it unless it needed correcting. It'll make
a droaning sound if the pinion angle is off. Depending on the severity of
the droaning you can esaily figure how to correct it. If you can hear the
droaning but can't feel it, 2 degrees will fix it. If you can feel it, but
not a whole lot, 4 degrees. If it feels like the driveshaft is gonna' make a
lane change without you, 6 degrees. Id ropped my last truck 5" before I
needed any correction, and it only needed 2 degrees.
One thing to remember, the shorter the driveshaft, the more severe the
pinion angle will change, the more correction you'll need. RC will ne more
correction with less drop than a CC or longbox.
