Tonight I changed my non-adjustable upper control arms from the top hole to the bottom hole on the chassis. Visually with the upper hole setting the pinion was at an upward angle. The lower hole actually shortens the upper arms by 1/2". Looks better although I don't have a degree finder to check the actual setting. I was surprised at how easy the change was. I raised the car and put the jack stands under the frame just in front of the rear tires, just behind the sidepipe bracket. Used the jack to support the pumpkin until there was no load on the springs. The bolts slipped out and back in no problem. I was expecting a fight. We'll see how she drives tomorrow although I wasn't experiencing any problems before the change.
