When I had mine all apart and then back together I simply put on the wheels, got 2 8 foot sticks, propped them up on buckets and touching the rims front and back, used a tape measure to rough the toe - in. It worked well enough to get it to the alignment shop.

Thanks Matt, Java was looking for tie Rod end distance placement from rack for Boges using turbo tie rod setup. Realize I can figure this out with some measuring but I thought someone might have it.
