I did purchase a set of Race Ramps 12" wheel cribs to lower the car onto and simulate being on the ground while adjusting and tightening components. The only drawback is being unable to roll the car to settle out the suspension so that solution is not ideal. I'm thinking I need to undo one link and lower the car to the ground, roll it back and forth, load the driver side with 150 lbs of ballast, then adjust and tighten the links.

The problem is there is no way to physically access the links with the car on the ground because it is so low - the Catch 22. This also makes it difficult and tedious to adjust the ride height (I'm 1/4" to 1/2" off from my target of 27"). I'm thinking I'll let the alignment shop even out the height when I take it since they have a lift.

I'm thinking of setting up my GoPro under the car as a suspension cam to watch it in action.
