ATV alignment

[barry1me]

Hey guys Im going to install my Alba LT suspension tomorrow night.  Im looking for some feedback on best ( or maybe easiest) way to do an alignment to set Toe and camber.  I have read some people put a chalk mark line in middle of tire on both fronts and measure in front of bumper, then roll quad back and measure the mark 180 degree back from there.  Is this the best method?  Also I need to figure out how to do Camber.  What degree camber and toe would you guys recommend?

I measure  the height of the front tire, divide it in half, mark the point @ the 3 & 9 position with a piece of tape so I can replicate precise measurements.
Then I follow this LSR guide for recommended settings.... http://lsracing.com/img/Guide_21.pdf

Wood and a tape measure

I do car alignments at work. I wish I could make it work for the bike. I think it's wide enough to fit on the wrack. I think it's 46" between the two platforms for the lift. My boss told me he will help me and do it with chalk on the ground though

How much negative camber do you run?  I was thinking 1.5-2 degree.  Is 1/4 inch toe in kind of the standard?

I run 4º caster, 3º camber, I shoot for between 1/8-1/4" toe-in.

Seems to be stable at speed and turns ultra well.  Gotta have good front tires tho.

I've tried Mohawks and SandStars... I like STU's hands down.  Waaayyy lighter too!
