1954 nova clip install

Ok just asking for those that have experience with this. I MAY use a 1970 nova clip on my 1954 1/2 ton. I have had clipped trucks but this is MY first doing myself..YES I have welding experience (certified) and some fab work. My BIGGEST question is how does one keep everything straight? such as the straight line down the frame so it isnt in a v shape looking at the side? Wheelbase I can handle ok but I have seen trucks that the frame was obviously lower on one side than the other at the clip one had spring spacers on one spring to compensate! .How can I check all these angles ect without a jig or frame rack. Safety is a concern and certainly alignment. THANK YOU!!!!!



PS I have the no limit engineering DVD but I think thats for 55 1/2 up mine again 54.
