The axle is almost dead nuts with the 4 degree shim under springs and on top of the axle pad. My floor is level as well. So using a framing square rested on the level and butted up to the axle the angle looks to be about 50 degree from level. This makes sense in my mind. Hope it works for you headscratch
Honestly if you bolted the lower shock mount on the underside of the spring ,bolted up a shock to that, the angle of the lower mount will get you in the ball park of where you need to be angle wise. My upper mounts appear to me to be original location. And I base that solely on the fact that the rivets are still in place. And again are consistent from one side to the other. I hope this helps you locate them. If you use the shocks that I indicated you should be good.
The mounts are roughly 12 inches apart outside to outside.

Hey Crummy would you mind taking a few measurements of the rear as well? Im curious as to what the mount to mount distance is with posies springs and the distance between the axle and bump stop? Did you keep the rear uppers in the original location? I have posies as well but have moved or am moving the shock mounts to the interior of the frame for clearance issues I also have the posies lower shock mounts which can slightly move the lower mount higher or lower. I figure if you have been happy with the ride of the Monroes 5847, I can set mine up to match the mount distance you have. Thanks for the help.
