The key issue is to not allow one end of the car to impact the ride height/weight supported of the other end of the car. You do this by eliminating the influence (lift one end of the car off the ground from the middle). This creates a tripod support. Now it's easy to adjust the two legs (corners). Otherwise the 4 wheels act like a 4-legged bar stool with a shorter or longer leg, but you now have to find it

I used the tri-pod method about 4 years ago when I upgraded my suspension. After, I had the car aligned and it drove great. Out of curiousity, I recently had it checked and found that the cross weights were within 20 lbs of each other. I was impressed. The key is to lift the car from exactly the center and be on level ground. Good luck.
