FIREBALL

Marlin taught me a little trick years ago. Jack up the front end so the tires are just off the ground. Then set a jack stand in front of one of the tires and using a ball point pen resting on the jack stand, rotate the tire and make a pen line all the way around it. Repeat on the other tire. Now you have 2 parallel lines to measure from.
Take a measurement from the front, then one from the back side. You should be between 1/8" and 1/4" toe in, in the front.

spraying white paint on the tire and then using the pen helps make the line show up a little better..don't worry,,the paint won't last long..
Forgiveness is between them and god..
Its my job to arrange the meeting!

or just use a paint pen :biggthumpup:

WHITE_TRASH

I just put a staple in each tire and spin them around front to back as needed.  The staples allow the tape measure to grab onto the other tire so I can do an alignment myself. ;)
