You have drag springs on it right? You could try drag shocks too, something like QA1s. Spendy I know.

you dont need a drive on to do pinion angle. measure the angle of the driveshaft and make the pinion 2-3 degrees less. its not a leaf spring or 4 link car, the pinion angle will remain the same through a wide range of motion.

you should never adjust pinion angle wen the suspension is unloaded.

DeCarbons have really poor damping characteristics. If you fix your pinion angle, get some Bilstiens. After that I'm not sure...
