rollcage install need help!!!please

Good day people
I have posted before but I did not get the response I was looking for and I have also gotted alot of other contradicting ideas.
I have a 10 point rollcage built by comp. engineering and I must say this is one of the best cages for the money I have seen.
What is the prefered and best way to raise and level the car to insure there will be no slop, bow, or twist in the chassis? Does it matter if the suspension is loaded or drivetrain installed? I have my car literaly ripped apart with nothing left on it, I cant load the suspension if nessesary.
Thanks in advance for any much needed advice

since you can't move you car, find one just like it. then park it on a know level surface and take some measurements with a angle finder. now go to your car and replicate the measurements, use shims under jack stands or what ever works. that should be enough to get the roll cage in correctly.
