Excuse me if I'm out of line here but, having the frame supported in a manner that ensures the frame is perfectly level is very important when installing or repairing frame components. If new components are installed and the frame is not level the frame will then be permanently locked in that twisted position.

If your surface isn't flat and level you need to shim your frame supports (jack stands) to get the frame level. Using a cheap 360 degree Lazer level and a tape measure can get you with in the 1/8 of level needed for most vehicles.

Once again if you've already done this please accept my apology. I've seen to many cars marginalized by poorly installed subframe connectors and/or roll bars.
