It can be a bit like asking where's north. There are several answers.
But what is the best
test in determining when your wagon is level as determined by the manufacturers specs.
Is the measure of the height from the bottom edge of the wheel rim to the underneath edge of the wheel arch reliable and should all the measurements be the same.
As a back up to all the opinions I'm likely to get here, I might just consult the GU manual to see what they say.
Thanks for the input

Do you mean level lengthwise or widthwise
They would be set up with a specific
suspension height, but that doesn't mean level. I would have thought that most vehicles appear to be slightly "down" at the front.
Now sideways is different and I would reckon on the same measurement for sam axle orientation eg both front wheel height measurements or both rear wheel height measurements.
I used a measurement method similar to your suggested way, (except I measured from the top of the wheel rim to the centre outer edge of the wheel arch) before and after I got a
suspension lift.
The lift worked out to be 50mm at front and 75mm at rear and the cross measurement was the same for both front side heights and both rear side heights.

See the post above in answer to your Q.
But before you had your susp. lift, was the proportional height difference the same front and rear ?
