Mine was Free. I own a tape measure.

Takes a little time but easily done by yourself (and a buddy)

Myself... 4 jack stands... some string..pull tight along both sides...

also have used plumbobs and chalk line.. to center everything..off frame..
this is best if you have a dog tracking issue...
and a level for camber...:} lota ways to skin a cat.. but you still will never get it as good as a shop with the machine will... but you can get it real dang close...

First It is not possible to do a 4 wheel alignment on a XJ. I pay $0 for toe and catser. I did pay $20 to a local shop to get me the starting settings, when I did my DW rebuild. Did the actual adjustment myself, but with the printout I knew exactly how much to adjust.
