If any of you are in need of a great deal on brake cleaner, Denco has a killer deal right now. For 24 cans, 67 dollars - just $2.79 per can. Unfortunately,, I can't buy the 39 state (GOOD) stuff. I'm roped in with Bill now. All them mf's keep moving here trying to make it the same as whence they came. Same price for 50 state or 39 state though...

Dad cut 4 - 1/4" pcs of plywood to help him level. He had to work on a flat dirt driveway once. I've seen it said to use two pcs of 12x12" linoleum tiles with a thin even layer of grease between them, under the front tires to remove friction. Obviously, this requires initial jacking to place them. The more you can do in prep, the quicker and easier to the best end result.
Right, along with locking the steering first for confirmation.
You can make a much better bar or wheel level with a little angle iron, mag level and 5/18 copper set screws. Garage floor that's somewhat level, you shim the truck level from there. String the perimeter square around the truck. Toe should be a factory settings, it's in the manual. adjust camber via rim level. Make sure the set screws are locked. Caster has always been close enough not to bother with on these trucks ALA you follow in order as explained.
Take it for a good ride and check that your adjustments have held.
Important, - never jack the vehicle before or at any time during this procedure....
