If you find a flat surface you can un tweak the suspension by eye if you don't have the station to do it on.

Pretty simple really -

Lift the front up with the edge of a screwdriver. Watch each wheel coming up. Which ever side comes up first, add preload to the rear end of the car on the opposite corner. Half a turn on the collar is plenty. Drop the car and repeat. (dropping it lets the car settle). Check and recheck. Small adjustments matter.

Do for both ends and recheck your ride height. Adjust as necessary evenly on both sides. (Ie. to change your ride-height adjust the left and right shocks evenly to change height. Don't crank down on a single side. )
