If you don't have access to a lift or some really high(truck/suv) jackstands this might not help, but...
-Looking from underneath, and having a helping pair of hands, you can lay them against the frame/floor and see how they SHOULD fit. Depending on brand, they may be a bit sloppy(if ya went cheapo) but shouldn't be too far off.
-If you've never done it before holding them up against the car on both sides will basically give you a road map of what's supposed to happen there. Bolt-in's will obviously have to line up with holes, where weld-ins can be left to a bit more "creativity" a 1/4 inch here or there.
Hope this helps.

The lift needs to be the drive on type, here's some info off the BMR site. http://www.bmrfabrication.com/instructions/sfc001.htm
