CenTex, I've done the same thing! Made one out of a 2x6 and a couple of 2x4 uprights.
I jack the wheels up, wrap a piece of masking tape around the tire, then spin the wheel, holding an ink pen against the top of a jack stand to hold it steady, scribe a perfect line around the tire.
Then let the jack down, drive the vehicle straight forward on level concrete, take the measurement with the weight on the suspension.
Also need to make sure the steering gear is centered when the wheels are straight ahead. Not just to get the steering wheel straight, but the steering gear has a "tight" spot in the straight ahead position.
