Pinion angle can't really change because the torque arm holds it in line to the transmission.
Pinion angle is really ony a concern when lifting a truck over 3-4" on the suspension,, you're only going down about an inch

The torque arm is mounted to the transmission, the transmission is mounted to the body. You lower the body 1"-2" = you lower the transmission 1"-2". The answer is yes, it changes your pinion angle.

It also alters the LCA angles as well. It also alters the centering of the rear since the panhard bar is fixed length, it will kick your rear off to the side.

The solutions are:

Pinion Angle: Adjustable Torque Arm
LCA Angles: LCA Relocation Brackets
Rear Centered: Adjustable Panhard Bar
