If you look at the bolt in the pictures there are 2 square blocks under each bolt. I then removed the one directly under the bolt head. The second block has a larger inner hole so I used some thin wall bushing material to reduce the slop and reinstalled it. I turned both bolts gradually until the lower arms were level and since readjusted them up a little bit after it settled. I wish I took some photos but I was at a friends alignment shop and did this a the fly. That area is my lowest point and sits 4.5" above the level ground. So far I scraped twice on the X pipe but the bolts /keys cleared any harm.
