    ok i got it back together. luck has it there is a factory bolt hole that lines up the lower spring mount when you shorten the frame. it makes the wheelbase 1/8 of an inch longer but the naked eye wont notice that when the truck is done. having that bolt hole makes squaring up the frame super easy. i triple checked everything and then drilled the other 3 bolt holes per side. once firmly bolted i did the plug welds and the inner and outer lap joint. i think the bolts helped keep the frame from twisting. after that the axles were put back under the frame and im done for the night
