I think Johnson is on the right track.
Sometimes, we are so anxious to get started welding, we don't take the time think far enough ahead.
It is like anything else, build from the known measurements:
Body width.
Expected tire size.
Ride height you decided on.
Anti dive angle
Type of suspension, MII, Corvette, BMW,
Also, don,t forget the rear at the sametime you are working on the front.
At this time I purchased the MII Spindles and made temp. brackets to hold them in place while I finished figuring out the actual IC, RC, steering rack placement, upper and lower control PU ponts,
Fab brackets, and tack weld together as you go.
grind off some tack welds re fab different brackets. LOL
Anyway, build from the sides in and bottom up to meet your IC and RC expectations.
Lots to consider and stay on top of.
Of course, all of this is probably easy if you are using a computer program to help you. For me, no program.

Thank you,
