Unfortunately, I don't have the measurements or a template. What we did was first level the car out and then used a angle finder on the floor board to find the angle.

I started with where I wanted the ride height to be, 5.5" from the ground to the bottom of the lower frame section.

To get the height of the c6 clip, we put the clip on the table with the suspension on it, then leveled out the lower control arm so that the lower ball joint was level with the lca bolts. Then we took the loaded radius of the Tire (toyo r888 275/40r 17 with a static loaded radius of 11.9") and raised the clip until we had 11.9" from the ground to the center of the hub.

After that it was pretty easy to figure out the down pieces, after you cut one end of the down piece with the angle you took off the floor board, you can hold it up on the table and trace out all the angles and cuts.

The table worked out great, it was only about $50 to build and was worth every cent. We used lag bolts underneath each leg to level the table. It made it very easy to build the frame, it was flat and nice and level. Plus being high off the ground made a good working height. Also, we screwed blocks of wood down so it would hold the metal in place while we were working.
Thanks,
Jon
