That is a good question ! Here is how I do it. I go as simple as possible as I dont like to use fency gage, it always seems like the best way for me is the manual way. the first thing I do is I make sure the chassis is flat. Step 2 is I set ride height , Step 3 for me is camber. Step 4 I set my droop usualy by feel 2mm uptravel to start with is what I do on most track front and rear and then adjust from there ! Step 5 I set my car on the edge of the board * so the middle of the chassis hit the edge and then make sure both tires hit the board at the same time to make sure the droop is even (if the chassis is flat and you dont have a crazy amount of slop it should be work very good ! I do that front and rear and while doing this, you want to tweak the car at the same time ! so to do the front you hold the rear and push up on it until front tires hit the board and then you will see if the car leans over on the left or the right which ever side leans first you need to put more preload on that side an a little less on the other side !!! The you do the same for the rear ! I am reading it and know it might be hard to picture but it is the best explanation I could get for now Let me know if you have any question.
