      If you have the car on jackstands you need to mock the rearend at typical ride height. I think this can be accomplished by installing a fixture in the shock mounts @14.5" if I read correctly. Then use a angle finder to get the downward angle of the trans yoke. Note this angle since it will be the same angle used to set the rear end yoke angle only it will will be upward. The angle is adjusted by lengthening or shortening the upper links after the mounts are welded. I assume the links come fixed at a factory setting which is a good starting point. The directions are kind of vague so this is how I am approaching the install when I get to it. First go over the directions provided and then this may help you understand them some..??

      I assume this length is calculated to put the uppers brackets in the proper location at a certain ride height?

      you are correct if the preload on the rear coilovers is set to less than an inch, the ride heigth is correct and the driveline angle is correct with the factory setting 9 1/4" upper links
