Aclew62, I basically just used a set of stock '84 C10 arms to jig up on my metal work bench.....the ball joint plates on the upper arms are mounted straight (rather than angled like stock) to both improve the angle of them when the air bags are aired out and to simplify them so that both sides are exactly the same ....and on the lower arms, I just moved the ball joints forward an 1 1/2" to improve the caster and move the wheels forward in the front wheel wells to better center them......
I did plan the suspension mods but as much as I hate to admit it, sometimes I just wing it
