Setting ride height/alignment with no motor

[Jim Lusk]

We're talking about setting the ride height back to the same EXACT setting after the engine is installed. Plus I've had so much trouble with alignment shops that I do my own these days...

im an alignment tech at my job and would like to say it will be a complete waste of time to make any adjustments without the motor and tranny in the car. every single angle changes once ride height changes. you move camber, your caster is going with it, you move toe ( most of the time) camber is going with it. i would wait til car is running and then set ride height to what ever is desired, than take to alignment shop to and get it all squared away my .02

Bingo!
