how do u figure out where the suspension needs to be when you jack it up?

To do it right you need the spindle on and the lower with the upper cut... jack up on the lower a arm till it goes all the way up the lower should bottom out first. I also tapped the end of the upper to make sure it was set then tacked it up. I jacked up just so it took the weight off the jack stand it was on. It doesnt take much and putting the baljoint on top helped a ton.

When we bagging the front to get the arm up high enough to drop the frame the upper ball joint binds so when you cut the side and put the weight on it it bends so the ball joint doesnt bind and stop travel....you should be able to fix the chamber with a alignment.
