HELP!!! Sas problems

ok, TTB is out, and I have the axle under the truck. I got the 7 degree bushing kit for the radius arms, and got the 4 inch drop brackets for the other side also. This is going on my 94 F-150 and I'm using skyjackers 9 inch coils. The radius brackets won't work, because where they hit my frame is not level with the ground. I'm guessing that they are like 15 degrees up. So I have to fabricate my own bracket. but how do I figure out the angle I need to set my radius arms to? also will the stock 78 drag link ball joint fit into my stock pitman arm? and will my old conpanion flange fit on my new pinion gear? thanks

You need a 90 F3504x4 drag link, what radius arm brackets are you using? I used 1978 brackets and they lined up perfect. I did this swap 4 years ago, I have pics in my gallery.

I just finished mine on a '88 model F150, and used '78 Bronco mounts cut and rewelded 15 deg back. Mine fit almost flush with the body mount.

The 79 drag link is also too long, would require a steering box relocation plus the pitman arm hole is too small. F1504x4-F2504x4-F3504x4 all use the same steering box, so use the F3504x4 drag-link. Sort of a repost, oh well
