Measuring ride height

Well, if you really want to split hairs, the factory procedure is called "measuring front suspension height", not ride height. In fact, the FSM doesn't reference ride height at all, only suspension height.

Probably because the ride height changes with the tire height using the factory method, and there were different tire options available from the factory. Sorry, but if you install 26" tires in place of 24" tires, you've raised the ride height by 1". Now, using the factory method of measuring the suspension height nothing changes. But the height of the car from the ground certainly does.

Correct. I confused suspension height with ride height.
