Using the scribe marks, I positioned the coilover mount and leveled it front-to-back before tacking it in place. The upper A-arm mount is the bracket on top of the frame with the slots in it that slide over the coilover mount's legs.

Using the squares and scales can make a tricky job a little easier.
