Ride Height Calibration inforomation
Is there a WIS document or similar for doing a ride-height calibration or even just an alignment?
I'm looking through WIS and can't find anything

Certain components on the ABC system require a ride height calibration and strut travel information to be performed if they are replaced. Intuitively, anything that alters the ride height, or the measurement of the ride height requires such a procedure to be performed.
This requires an alignment lift (is usually done in conjunction with an alignment), and an expensive inclinometer made by Romess for mercedes. This is not a shade-tree job. Anyway, I found the WIS document for the feature, but I forgot how. The main takeaway I wanted to know is if the plates on the alignment lift should be locked or free. (They're supposed to be free).
Doing a ride height calibration can really improve how the car rides, handles, and feels.
