You can jack up the front end evenly by placing the jack right under the K-member. Make sure your e-brake is on and chock one of the rear tires.

Just wanted to pass this on for those considering Pro Kit springs. Went for alligning after Pro Kits. I have to drive a few more days w/ a little negative camber, ugh, until c/c plates arrive. Thx to stock camber adjust limit, caster/camber plates are required using Pro Kits WITHOUT isos. J&M most reasonably priced @ Americanmuscle.com, $165minus our 6%.

I know I've slacked on it. Been busy busy. Haven't even put plates on for the camber. Can you say "a little uneven tire wear"? Probably need posting coaching once I've taken the pics though.

LOL, we have similar senses of humor. It's all good. Putting c/c plates on tues. night after work, will try to take a couple pics in dude's garage if the lighting permits. I'd do it at work but don't wanna look like a dork to my hillbilly coworkers. Thx for offering to....walk me through it.

quickest reply I've ever seen....read. Went with J&M from americanmuscle.com. They were less expensive but did some research and saw it was a good product...we'll know for sure soon enough. Didn't get shocks/struts....I'm on a budget, man!

You can say that again. I don't mind though, not going for the ultimate handling mac daddy stang. Just wanted a good look and crispier handling and think firmer springs are a good economical way to start. Probably will end up doing more at a later time, these damn cars are like freaking legos...hard to stop building them once we start.
