Message: [QUOTE="markfuga, post: 1406934, member: 10964"] Best way to line up the buckets is to have the radius arm brackets mounted to the frame first and then slide the front axle under the truck (attached to the radius arm brackets). Next set the frame/body to an approximate "ride height" then line up the spring buckets directly over the spring perches on the axle so the springs are as straight up and down as you can get them. The OBS frame is narrower in the front so the springs will be tilted in about an inch on each side. It's best to align them as straight up and down as possible. All the threads I've read state to mount the radius arms brackets by "bumping" them up to the front cab mount brackets on the frame. That's a great reference point, but use a tape measure before drilling holes to measure between the spring eye bolt centers front (radius arm) to rear on each side to be sure the measurements are the same. This will parallel the rear and front axles. Just bumping the brackets is a SWAG and won't guarantee the axles are perfectly aligned. Measure between the front spring mount hole of the rear springs to the hole in the radius arms. [/QUOTE]
