Mine is centered side to side at the trailing arm brackets and the frame is square to within 1/8 of an inch as I couldn't get it exactly perfect. I almost wish I would have just bought new frame rails from classic industries as I had to straighten a number of areas where they must have high centered the truck on a rock at some point over the last 40 years. That way I wouldn't have had to cut the frame, weld it, and deal with questioning if something wasn't square. They are just under $2K for new frame rails.

It should be OK if it will line up correctly and you can get the front end aligned to spec. I was lucky that my frame was in good shape to begin with.
Good luck with it, the brace seems to really stiffen the frame.
