Hello, I'm curious how you welded the CPP crossmember in? It seems you have to set the angle of the crossmember level to ground after you set the ride height. How do you set ride height before you have tires and wheels on? I'm thinking of going with the same CPP kit. The rear end in my truck is from a 59 Cadillac so the axle is bigger than 3 inches. I'm thinking of finding a 10 bolt to make my life easier, not to mention the brake drums for a 59 Cadillac are expensive! Thank you,
Pretty much every set of directions I’ve seen state to set the frame at a 2-3 degree rake and weld the crossmember level to the ground. If you want your truck high in the back, set it at 3 degrees, if you like the saggy look, 2 degrees or less. I think I ended up with around 2.5 degrees when it was all said and done. The 2-3 degrees isn’t really a set in stone number. If you’re off one way or the other, it’s not the end of the world. Depending on how you set up the top mounts in relationship to it will affect your anti-dive but that’s about it.
