Jag ifs jitters

So I think I am almost ready to install my jag ifs. Any last words of wisdom from the guys on here? I think I have read every post twice, but want to make sure! I am welding to the frame. Motor is out and the frame where the jag will mount is level front to back and side to side. I have centered the ifs in the wheel well and the ifs is level also. Am I missing anything?

Make sure your frame is at your ride height or preferred rake .
The bottom of the jag cross member must be level front to back and side to side .
If you weld it in with EVERYTHING level and later on when your truck is completed the rear is higher than the front it will mess up the f/e geometry .
It may not be a lot , but it may be harder to get a correct wheel alignment .

Lots of pics in both of my build threads. Both of mine are welded up level front to back with the frame level front to back. I may be running some rake but I am not worried about the alignment, it will be fine. I lived through the 1980s, hijacker air shocks and all
