install the lowers, and uppers...

then adjust the lowers until the wheel base is were you want it... basically just center the front wheel in the axle...

then use an angle finder and measure the caster... adjust the uppers until the caster is within spec

at 4" you lca should be 16.33" center to center. With re drop brackets lca = 15.75" center to center. Uca will stay stock length.
