How to...Manual Wheel Alignment

Anyone able to explain the process. I caught the last part Stacy on TRUCKS! explaining the alignment but didnt catch the how to. I saw where he marked boxes around his tires on the floor with chalk and was taking measurements.

I am putting on my lift this weekend and will have to drive 25-30 miles on Monday to get it aligned. I would prefer to align it as good as possible before driving that far.

Thanks.

this is how i did it on my truck after i installed my lift, works on most vehicles is not perfect but will be good enough to get you to the alianment shop, you will need a tape mesure , losen your tie rod end inner and outer nuts so you can adjust it in and out second use the tape mesure to get the distance from middle of tire to middle of tire on the other side now adjust the tierod ends in and out so that the front of the tires match the mesurements to the back of the tires you will have to mesure a few times, now losen your ajdusting cams on the top get the mesurement from the bottom middle tire to match the top of both front tires, sorry for the spelling i am in a hurry it sounds confusing but it is easy and does not take that much time, good luck
