Thanks for the quick responses. So I can get the crossmember in and safely weld everything in its final place as long as I have 3 degree down on a level surface, weight on the wheels....


I'll weld and set the axle at the right angle when I'm ready for driveshaft.

Ive never been the hotrod pedal to the metal sort, so I hope I can avoid any leaf spring wind up stuff.

You said 3 down and 3 up. Some of the articles said to be off a tad but I don't understand why. Should I ignore all the different stuff I've read and simply go 3 down 3 up, put driveshaft in and I should be good?

Speaking of driveshaft... what's best way to measure to get one cut down to size?
