need a measurment, rear CL on frame? Location!

I have a frame that is bare. I have looked up in my notes and found a spec sheet that said the center line between the rear hangers was 47.546"

I have just the bump stops left on the frame now. I took the 47.546/2= 23.773" I took the tape to the side of the frame and from the 4 bolt hole for the front hanger. (center of the 4 bolts) The number looks to be in the center of the bump stops.

I have the frame at ride height and need to get the axle in the right location so i can setup the 4 parrel bars and weld in the front hangers. Thanks!!!!!!!!

what you have is correct.... that would be the center line measuring from the center of the two original spring hangers...

here's what Ford says...
