Ride height is determined by the distance from the bottom of the lower ball joints and center of lower control arm bushing. My '70 B body has a specification of 1-7/8" + or - an 1/8".
With tires properly inflated you bounce the front of the car down, allow it to settle to regular stance, measure the distance between floor and lower ball joints, add the distance from the specs for your car(check your FSM), and measure distance from floor to bottom of lower control arm bushing.
I took an old paint stir stick and using the above formula cut it to length needed for measuring. This way I can simply place it against the lca bushing and if it barely scrapes the floor I know I'm where I need to be. Bounce the front of the car a few times and recheck.
