The portal boxes need to be vertical, if you change the brackets to correct pinion angle you will have to redrill the housing where the portal boxes mount to correct their angle.

When he said stock, I thought he was referring to the stock LC wheels, not the stock Volvo wheels, sorry.

About being vertical, I think he is talking about with the Slee lift, his LC axles aren't orientated as they should be (meaning that his pinion points slightly up). When he welds up the brackets, if he sticks with the slee 6", his portals will not be vertical if he mounts them at the same angle as the LC axle, mounting them at different points on the Volvo axles will eliminate this if I am thinking correctly, I may be looking at this wrong, so feel free to correct me.
