Hey guys here is an easy way to get your exact ride height when adjusting your suspension.
Remember its just a relative number. You can take the measurement anywhere as long as you doing the same place everytime.
Its very difficult to get done and do it with a tape measure on a round tube.
So get one of those shape copiers like the use for moldings. They are less than 10 bucks. they have a bunch of little pins that slide back and forth.
Then pick a spot on the lower frame rail I put a piece of painters tape around the tube for 2 reasons one is I get the same spot each time the other is so the pins dont mark up the tape. ( yes I am that anal! What can I say.)
Then just set it up on edge and slide it into the frame pull it out and take your measurement. If for some reason your ride hight is taller than the tube just put some type of spacer under it. A small 2x4 block works great.
I have included pictures.
