Anyone have a source for finding stock ride heights?
I'm trying to find factory ride heights for my VZ Crewman, in particular, the rear.

I have looked and looked every where.

find a picture on the net that shows the stock ride height..use a ruler on the monitor and measure a item that is the same on your vehicle, like the distance between the wheel nuts or the gas cap ect...then work out the scale... so if the picture measurement is 3mm and the real world is 30mm you have a 1to10 scale...then measure the pictures eyebrow (wheel hub center to guard lip) then times it by 10 :) ...not 100% accurate as you have to factor in fuel load has the vehicle in the pic anything in the tray spare wheel ect,use a number of different sourced pics and average it out...

This is amazing.
Using the trim height points, I've got something that sits at about factory heights.
My VZ Crewman is fitted with VY struts and adjustable Pedders rear springs.
(The first owner must have had this lowered and swapped out the front struts when selling.)

Now I can get an idea of what to replace the rear shocks and front struts with to drop this 30mm.
I have the instructions for lowering the Pedders springs.
