Adjustable Tracking Arm
I'm running 4" drop springs on the back of my '69 chevy. Whats the best method for putting on the adjustable tracking arm I bought and making sure the rearend is centered? Maybe this is a dumb question, but am I supposed to measure the wheels in relation to the frame and try to center it up? Thanks for any input.

That's how I did mine... measured from a flat vertical surface on the inside of the wheel to the outside of the frame...

Thats how I did mine as well. One of the guys on the board also said to make sure that the driveline is in line also. I don't have my driveline in yet so I don't know of they coincide or not.

You can support the truck with a floor jack under the center of the axle. Whith the wheels removed and the rear of the truck at approximate ride height you can measure from drum surface to frame rail using a strait edge on the drum face.
