Yeah, it's a real pain in the ass. I couldn't find anything to use.

I ended up using my garage. It's sloped in on a hill, and the garage itself is sloped for drainage, so I backed the car out of the garage until it was level, marked the tires so the distance could be duplicated. Then put a level across the fenders, a jack under one corner to level the car side to side. Hang a piece of plywood at the front of the garage as a sighting board, and scale 2.1" drop at 25 feet for the 17'4" I was using. Then take the longest level, figure out the slope of the garage floor, and accommodate for drop.

It worked perfectly, but damn if it didn't take a lot of figuring.

My parent's neighbor has a level drive way. I'll be using that. I could drive 10 mins to my gf's place. They have a super flat driveway too.

Haha lol gotta love youtube comments sometimes:

"
I know most of you probably arent going to read this, but next week I turn 19, and I want to become a walrus. I know there's a million people out there just like me, but I promise you I'm different.On December 20, I'm moving to Antarctica (home of the great walruses). I've already cut off my arms, and now slide on my stomach everywhere I go as training I may not be a walrus yet, but I promise you if you give me a chance and the support I need I will become the greatest walrus ever
