Being your mechanic is in the know AKA "off road racing" he may have set it up taking in account of added weight of you and gear in vehicle so with out "you" in it it would be off some. Having control arms, Trac bars, and everything else in correct length and angles set up for correct cast, camber spring and shock alignment (centered under vehicle not offset to side) for best ride, steering control then don't forget pinion angles drive shaft compressed and extended length. Leaf spring suspension is flat out simple to do compared to coil springs system
The difference between "we install kits and parts vs we install and dial in your vehicle" shops... some do it just for the $ and others live it.
But I'm just making a Wild A.. guess here. I knew a few guys that could set up gears, rebuild engines and transmission by eye and feel.
