viewed from the side)?



No, only if you have identical axles on the front and rear, and  identical 
wheels and tires, which locate the height of the axles,...and you have  none of 
this.  Why don't you buy 4 cheap jack stands at Wally World and  support the 
frame in four places to make it paralell with the floor?  Don't  make it harder 
than it has to be Paul.
