What tools are folks using for setting up suspensions/chassi

Offroad VW based vehicles have problems/insights all their own. Not to mention the knowledge gained in VW durability.

This one's rated for 200 lb pull, pretty beefy.
From Googling there are 3-4 brands/version of these, all pretty much idential except for color, same MagSwitch magnet setup, probably all roll off the same conveyor belt.

I'll probably first make a fixture to hang it from my lawnmower handle to suck all the old roofing nails out of my yard. :lol:
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Done forget some good quality string/twine and a digital plumb bob (you do know that they make a magnetic version now: 20&index=aps&hvadid=3486610932&ref=pd_sl_vnn9a2swz_b).

All the doo-dads are nice... but if you're building a chassis, a digital level and a flat chassis table goes a looooooooooooooooooong way.

A flat and level garage floor helps too.
