Some people lay them at an angle to the rear, some angle them straight up to the center of the truck, I like angling them to the rear and center of the truck giving you the most travel without going into the bed.

My 12 inch bills:
IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5
