check the heidts site, tech articles, for something called "understanding independent front suspension". it may help you understand how things should look. secondly, check out a vehicle like the one your kit is supposed to mimick. see if the lower control arms are level with the ground with the weight of the vehicle sitting on the tires. the whole vehicle, complete. usually the lower control arm is level to the ground at ride height but your "mimick" truck mey be different. if it is supposed to be modelled after an s10 check the gmupfitters site, bodybuilder manuals, and choose your model. there is usually an engineering drawing of the front end and other stuff so you could see how the control arms should look. maybe some dimensions too if youre lucky
