Ride height....

So I'm working on another 55, and want to get the ride height just right. I usually have one guy at my MB store that does a great job from adjustment to alignment, but he's gone. I'm wondering, if you measure from the ground to the highest point in your fender arch ( that would be thru the center cap of your wheel..), what does it measure? I'm thinking it should be around 25.5 inches in the front, maybe 26 in the back....where does your sit? In park, level ground, NOT in sport 2.....thanks if you can give some info...

Thanks for the input...that's pretty low. I'm worried about mine being too low, not too high. What size wheels are u running?
