As a skeptic of DIY alignments, I just tried it for the first time. It's not that difficult after all - the real time lasers make it quicker - not necessarily more accurate. I used a set square and digital level to check camber and set squares/ tape measures on the ground.

Are you using tape measures or string and axle stands or?
