k-member reinforcement

This is timely information for me with lots of good advice, hot tanking, sand blasting, double checking steering box before welding the supports in there.

Mine was originally a slant 6 k-member. It now has the Schumacher , mounts and a 5.9 Magnum.

Is there any way any way to check it for straightness prior to welding? Not sure how you could ever bend it back one way or the other anyway.
