Default Upper Offset Cross Shaft Install HELP!!!!

Ok I know this is probably a dumb question and I'm just not thinking right but I'm in the middle of install my upper A-arms with the VB&P offset cross shafts and I'm not sure which way to mount them.

Do I want to pull the upper ball joint in more or push it out more. There are no instructions and I'd really rather not do it twice.

Any help would be great.

If you want to use them to correct frame deflection/sagging which means you can't get the camber clsoe enough to the 0 (or pos) side then you need to install them w/ the offset ourboard (moving the cross-shaft ends where the bushings sit outboard). If you want to use them to set the proper neg. camber w/ less spacer shims then you need to mount them w/ the offset inboard.

Thanks for the help. There was quite a few shims being used so that was I figured it would take the place of some of them but I wanted to be sure before O got everything back together. Thanks again
