Need Help! from Suspension Experts

[LowRodder]

After well over a year of dealing with a “buddy” , who claimed to know what he was doing and could help me with a rear notch/wishbone setup , I’m no further along then I would have been on my own.

So I’m taking matters into my own hands and trying to finish up this rear set up on my own. That being said, I could really use some pointers.

My two main questions right now are;

# 1 What is good way to be sure that I am “setting” the rear axle square in the frame rails? keeping in mind that I have never done anything like this before, and the extent of my measurement tools would be measuring tape, level, square, and a plumb bob.

#2 Should I set the truck at the desired ride height or full slam when trying to figure out where the axle needs to sit? I want the wheels to be centered in the wheel wells at full slam, but also want to make sure that I set the correct pinion angle for ride height.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
