asking for someone; if you are at 10 1/2 inches on the frame, and bottom hole on the pinion, would you raise it more, or try something different? be blunt..

Never been in the bottom hole on the pinion. I usually run just above the pinion. On the frame side I would start at about 7 inches up from the pinnion end.

That seems like a tremendous amount of Jbar rake to me.... remember as you increase Jbar angle for side bite you are taking away forward bite.

I go by feel and attitude of the car. 8" to 10" higher at the frame mount than the pinion. Are you on a long or short J bar?

Without even knowing what kind of car this is or what length bar, that is WAY too much rake.

I have seen some one do this when they thought that the function of the bar was only the angle and did not understand that lowering one end and raising the other defeated one of the functions of the bar.
What are you trying to get from the adjustment?

Correct. There are also some very common misconceptions out there with regards to rear roll center location. It isn't where most people think it is.

I'm glad you said it, I was thinking it but decided not to share and get blasted. LOL
