Drag Link Angle-Level vs Spring

Replacing the front axle in '64 K10 with newer Dana 44 from '79 K10 along with it's power steering components. Using the original front spring that are reconditioned, maybe, up to an 1 1/2" additional lift.

The drag link as installed is parrellel with the front spring angle. Posts here have reported the drag link should be installed parallel to the ground, while others suggest installing parallel to the front spring. Will post the angle on drag link tomorrow.

Seems like the spring angle will cause less change in steering as the axle moves up and down from road bumps? E.G. the axle and drag link move as one.

Thanks,
Les
