Rear suspension alignment I have UMI DA PHB and LCAs, and Im wondering what techniques you guys use to align the rear suspension. I dont have the stock LCAs and PHB to go off of and Im also trying to fit 28" tall tires. I have the tires on and they both look pretty well centered in the wheel well but I dont know what sort of measurements I need to make and how/where I should make them.
Thanks!

yes you need load on the axle, or it won't be centered when it's back on the ground. Make sure the LCA's are the same length, mounting hole to mounting hole, when you put them in. Misaligned LCA's will affect thrust angle.
Use using a washer that hangs down to the wheel center from a string taped to the fenders on each side helps with centering side to side.

Yeah I said this somewhere else.
