Suicide front leaf spring set up is what I am wanting to use.
Using the stock axle and spindles with disc brakes conversion

How far back to I tilt the axle to get the proper angle for the right aliment. Or do I just set the axle straight up and make the adjustments with the four link?

Also the perch bracket that the front leaf spring attaches to. Does it need to be angled the same amount back as the front axle?
 
51 front end

On almost all solid axel front ends you want about 7 deg. the mounting pads should be in the same plain as the spindles, so if the spindles are at 7 deg. the pads should also be at 7 deg.
