DIY Alignment

[Rick2004LJ]

How do you do a DIY driveway alignment on our modified TJ's? I have seen alignment tools & guides - is there one that works best on our rigs?
Jeep is a trail rig and gets no street driving other then between trails and occasion around town trip - Just need to get it close and steering wheel re-aligned.
Our rig is 2004 LJ 4 1/2" Metal Cloak long arm 37's.

Thanks

unless your front end is something other than stock, you can only do the caster and toe in but they are easy to do.

If your adjustable arms are set correctly, just adjust the toe in.

I picked up these alignment brackets from metal cloak a while back and have gotten good results. The brackets helped hold the tape measures together and pay for them self after the first use.

For caster measurements, the little klein digital angle gauge is a nice buy:

Set everything, then adjust your drag link to straighten the wheel. May take several tries to get it dead straight.
