At the alignment shop. This is not something you can just do "until it looks right".

If you have a long distance to drive to a alignment shop you can add the same thickness shims to the upper control arm mounting bolts both front and rear bolts, Then you won't tear your tires up getting there.

But, As LONGHAIR said it needs to be done/finished by professionals....

just like he said, Harbor Freight has a shim kit for like 5 bucks... I used that same kit to align my truck (We have an alignment machine at work)
