Default height stock questions??

Ok im getting ready to do the Tbar crank and shackles. i measured the height from the top of the wheel well to the top of the rim. my front was 10 1/2 inches and the back was 12 inches. is it spouse to be that much off or does it have to be the equal in the front and back?

whenever i've lowered or raised a vehicle, i've gone buy the rockers. (measure the wheel wells on an old skool full size Chevy.......they're different in relation to the rockers)

Any measurements from the ground to anywhere on the car is not a good way to measure because of tire height. My 235/75 r15 would measure different compared to someone with 30"s and so on. also the treadwear can contribute to differences in measurements. The most accurate way to measure the height is from the exact center of the rim to the fender well. Mines about 19" if i remember correctly. Also id like to know others measurements cause i want to know if my torsion bars are sagging. Also if you could list if u have cranked torsion bars or added shackles so we can compare!
