LCA relocation brackets... just quick question

I'm planning to put my rearend in here soon, and was going to have the relocation brackets welded in. I can't find my instructions at the moment, but they seem to fit well.

But bascially, slide them over the original brackets, and then sit them flush? or at a slight angle? I'm assuming flush, then weld them in place??

Like the pictures?

They should go flush. That will locate the new holes for the LCA in the same arc as the stock hole.

When I did mine I was also switching to tubular control arms plus the relocation brackets (in car) I used the old LCA to get the brackets to the right angle they needed to be at and then tacked them into place. Then I welded everything fully. You'll be surprised how much you can pivot your rearend once you take the LCA's off so I wanted everything back in the right spot as you have seen there is quite a bit of play back and forth with those new brackets.
