I agree, when I first saw this tool in the shop manuals I thought it would
make it so much easier to lower a car evenly. Being as they sag not only
front and rear, but left and right also, it created more headaches than it
was worth (for lowering). I had to stay with the trial and error method.

Once I started driving my fasty, I think I did the front something like 12
times to get it to sit exactly where I wanted it to. Eight times the first
time, then I adjusted the rear some which threw the front off again and I
had to adjust it about 4 more times to get it back to where I wanted it.
