Right on Shawn-
Also, I just found out today part of the symptom (in addition to
the new bilsteins+eibachs) of my front end misalignment was (is) 
due to the front bearings- theyve become salty, not yet crunchy
[fortunately]. and my boots have ripped as well... my labor of love?
Found out its ok to support the vehicle on the subframe, the control
arm{gently} or the chassis, but all in all if you want to not stress
out the joints and run her stationary, do so minimally.
I think every mechanic has his own method...
