got the axle swapped under it and made the axle so its got an equal amount of distance between the leafs and the rotors, put the wheels on, and had it on its own weight with no jacks supporting it. this will provide the correct pinion angle and driveshaft length. put the u-bolts loose and perches not welded yet. I ditched the factory angle blocks as I am going to set the pinion angle exact. I used a straightedge on the pinion to determine the exact amount of pinion angle needed by pointing it exactly to transfer case yoke. I was lucky enough to have a 48inch pipe wrench from work that made it easy to spin the axle even with the weight of the vehicle on it but using a jack under the pinion to raise it should work also.
once I got the pinone angle where I wanted I went ahead and welded the leaf perches on and tightened the u-bolts
