I have little experience with this, but did one and I looked at the Camaro's weight and the truck were super close. I measured the distance between the rubber bumper on the lower control arm on a stock Camaro and put "all thread" in place of the shock and tightened it up bring sub frame down until that distance was the same from the rubber bumper to the control arm. Then set the frame on jack stands at the height I wanted it and simply welded the sub frame to the frame at that height.

Also, checked the upper control arm shafts angle using an angle finder and put that exactly the same so it would align properly.
