The rears up front (RUF) FAQ on pirate has a good pic. I would recommend putting the springs on, tack the hanger where you think it looks good.
place the weight of the truck on the front end.
check shackle angle. If it looks like crap, easier to grind a few tacks than a bunch of welds.
get it where you are happy with it than weld the crap front and rear on your hanger
