Getting ready to install the Wilwood calipers and noticed that the front spindles have a bit of an upward angle to them. Is this correct? They are equal distance from the ground side to side and I've got the correct UCA lengths from Jeff's previous post at 9.75" to the front and 8.5" to the rear, grease fitting to fitting. I'm assuming this will be resolved during final alignment but wanted to double check.

Thanks Jeff. You are saying that if I put a jack under the LCA and made it parallel to the deck, it would level out correct?

Mock it up at ride height.
