Not a stupid question... feel free to ask when you have questions... you can only get answers.... Try this (http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoAlignment.htm), and see if it helps you any... I am going to use this when I do my lift to do a check... and see if I can make due for a little bit without the alignment shop, as they are all pretty expensive in my area...

You need an angle finder. They are a cheap tool and something you need for setting up your drivelines and such.

Jsut pull the front tire and place it on the top of the upper ball joint and read the angle. Just make sure not to jack up that corner any more than what it takes to pull the tire.
