It's been a while since I've tackled the alignment. I set up measuring strings. One string down the theoritical center of the frame. One for the IFS and one for the IRS to make sure front & rear suspension is at right-angles to the string and parallel to each other. And I have found the following:
1: Front suspension was off center 1/8" too far to the left. And a little askew, Right axle a little forward and left axle a little to the rear.
2: Rear suspension is a little Askew too. Right axle too far back, and left too forward and 1/4" off-center to the right.
I machined up some custom screws that screw into the grease nipple holes in the bottom of the Jag hubs and two into the grease ports front wishbones of the IFS. I can run sttrings from these and they give me a positive latching point for my tape measure.
I hope the JAG grease holes are an accurate mirror image. It seems like all indications show mine are very close.
