Rear suspension swap

I changed out frames on my 69 C-20 due to an accident. now that I have the rear trailing arm suspension almost back together, is there any particular order it should be put back together? I thought i had read some where to install springs to frame, than trailing arms, and let the rear end hang, then attach the T/A's to the crossmember?

Thanks Nick

Re: Rear suspension swap

Thanks, Like i said I had read on some post that you should do the rear section put in the crossmember then hook up the trailing arms. ant idea of the torque on the bolts on the trailing arms to the crossmember?
