   NOTE: Ride Height Measurement - Rear 
   NOTE: Make sure that the vehicle is positioned on a flat, level surface and the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. Vehicle should have a full tank of fuel.
   NOTE: The spring assistor is in contact with the rear axle at lightly loaded conditions, this is by design intent and should in no way be viewed as an indicator of an overload condition or as a perception of lack of available axle travel.
2. On both sides, measure the distance between the bottom of the jounce bumper and the striker cup on the axle.
