Search for then read lower links 101. It will answer this question and many more.

I don't live on the edge. I fell over long ago.

if the coilovers are on the lowers, definately do *not* attach the heims directly in front of the axle. Mostly under, and slightly ahead, like 87 degrees to the perpindicular of the centerline of the axle is good becuase <if i am correct> it preloads the lwoers with just a little tension, but not nearly enough to cauase probs, just to keep everything vibration free. If you find the pics of that truck with completely bent Sway-A-Ways this makes sense.
