Lots of tape measure and plumb bob work, or.........

1. Put jeep on jackstands, frame and axle.
2. Take spring out on one side.
3. Measure angle and location of spring perch on axle tube.
4. Cut off old spring perch and weld on new spring perch matching your measurements.
5. Cut old spring hangars off frame.
6. Bolt new spring pack on axle.
7. Mark frame for new spring hangar mounts.
8. Bolt/Weld new hangars on to frame
9. Repeat for the other side.

On my axle swap I did drop the rear shackle hangar a bit to help level out the stance. Spring over in the front and under in the rear.
