How to measure actual lift height?

'76 CJ-7, 2 1/2" Skyjacker leaves, aftermarket shackles & heavy bumpers/nerfs... How can I measure the actual lift height? Measure center-to-center of the upper and lower shock mounting bolts front & back? Anybody know the stock measurements sitting in the drive? I put a dropped pitman arm on a while back and now see that the steering linkage has been rubbing on the top of the spring. Could I mount the steering linkage upside-down on top of the pitman and the far end (whatever we call it:) Appreciate the advice. Best Regards, Jim
