If he took that large lift block out of there, alot of that spring distortion would go away.

Kurt, i took lots of measurements, made drawings, put a plumb bob on my frame, found the center of the axle, painted reference marks on the frame and axle, then disassembled the whole deal. When i bolted my springs on my axle and got my plumb bob marks lined up, I could see where the hangers had to be. I c-clamped the hangers to the frame and put the weight of the truck on it, then adjusted to get my height correct.
Hope that helps a little. You will figure it out as you go along.
