Here's some information I found when setting up my car.

''There is a poor man's corner weighting method that involves using a floor jack on center with the front and back of the car. As you slowly raise the front end (for example), one tire will clear the surface faster than the other. So to put more weight on that tire (so that both rise off the floor at the same time), you have to "jack up" the opposite corner (i.e. crank more tension on the spring). Of course, you're supposed to do this with driver's weight in the front seat, too.

You do this back and forth (front to rear) until you achieve as near balance as you can. It doesn't account for fender gaps and overall stance (which may end up not being what you are after). But what you will achieve is a very close corner weighting without using scales.''
