Check tire pressure.

Disconnet any sway bars you might have. No need to remove them, just disconnect or remove one of the connecter links.

Carefully set the ride height. That can be a tedious process, as a 1/4" change in front ride height may change the rear by 1/8". You have to go round and round making small adjustments until it's perfect.

You will need toe plates of some kind. You will most likely need to jack up the corner to adjust ride height. When you let it back down the suspension won't settle properly. No need to spend big bux here. I use two cheap floor tiles and put grease between them. Some people use plastic garbage bags. When you let the car back down on your "toe plates", turn the steering wheel back and forth a few times to settle the suspension.

You should take all your measurements off the frame, not the body.

Get an alignment tool, or take it to a shop. You can't use levels and guess work, it just isn't accurate enough. Here's the specs I use, and I think my car drives down the road as easily or better than a factory car.

Caster 2.5*
Camber -.05*
To In - 1/16" total.

Now you can connect the sway bars again.
