Someone back me up with this, cuz i havent done it (right) yet, but i believe the corrects way to find the angle of your top bag mount is to get your lower one on, put your bag compressed on the lower mount, put your spindle/tire on your c-arms, jack up the tire so its level with the bottom of the frame, then tack in your top mount, remove your tire & bag, then fully weld it in..
