I will be taking mine to a frame shop soon to have it checked out. my issue is so slight that taking measurements wont find it. Yes you can measure to find major sags of a couple inches but the frame can be twisted and racked to one side.
I recommend a good construction laser if you wish to go the measurement route. It can tell you where your concrete is out as well as where your frame is out relative to the laser. It takes some drawings to map out all of the frame measurements but the laser will allow you to shim/block every tire until they are level then the laser will be your new flat surface to measure to so your concrete condition becomes irrelevant.
Everyone has gotten worked up over this, you can find major frame problems but if you are looking to correct something that is 1/2 inch out, you need a rack to tie the frame to and to get proper alignment points.
I used my laser's (2 of them) to do my first tire alignment and it was closer than I thought when I actually put it on a rack.
I hope to have mine checked out in the next Month. It will be a friends shop so I should be able to get some pics and possibly some professional advice for all once mine has been checked out. I may be pulling motor soon so I need to see if the motor has to be in it or if I can bring it to him with the motor out.
Good luck to all
