Front alignment pedestals

[Frank S]

After rebuilding the entire front end of a 2007 GMC 2500 HD. I got to thinking I already have this thing up on a rack making it easy to work on the only thing missing would be to be able to set the caster camber and toe. The way I connected the trailer ramps together was already reasonably level but if I put a pair of turn table alignment plates on top of them it would make the vehicle higher in front that the rear throwing off the caster adjustment. Not much but enough to keep me from being satisfied with the results. The solution was to build a pair of pedestals for the turn tables to sit in making the tops of the plates the same height as where the rear tires were on the rack. This way I could level the pedestals to each other as well Here is what I did
the pedestals are made from a sheet of 1/4" plate some bits from a steel hose reel like I made the ramp stands out of Some 1-1/2" angle Iron some 1 1/4" flat bar some cut off scrap strips for bracing 1/4" thick rounds to give a solid surface to weld the legs on and some 2-3/8" oilfield tubing for the legs, all materials were upcycled except for the angle iron and the flat bar
