Your best bet is to locate the axle under the truck set the springs on the pads. Make sure the axle is centered and pinion angle is correct, then tack weld the pads. Remove axle for final welding

10/4 I like that ,and clocking it as well ..ok daylight ,,,when I hook my tape to the side of my rear blocks,and measure outside to inside ,I come up with 40.25.When I hold tape center to center,still looks like 40.25.Which confirms Ak suggestion of placing axle under the truck,and mocking up the saddles.good ? will help others down the road

Ya I was wondering about the width to, cause my truck also has the front dana60 and I really don't like how the front tires stick out further than the backs.
