Hoping for a little help on this, I'm not sure how perfect this needs to be. I've got the quarters off and subframe out of the car. My idea was to square up all 8 mounting points on jack stands before I weld the new quarters on. 8 being 4 corners of the leaf spring mounts, and the 4 subframe mounts. I'm using a laser level mounted underneath the car center, and measuring up to each point. Then shimming the jack stands to adjust.

Has anyone done anything like this? I've got it close, within 1/4 inch. I'm wondering if I call it good or keep fighting it?

Use these pictures to help you figure out how high each point needs to be:

Wow, thats some good info! Thanks a million. I had already finished this up and got them all level within .125". I'll check it compared to these specs and see how I did. Thanks again.
