I think you are probably going to be better off measuring from the centre of the wheel to the top of the wheel arch - in this way you eliminate the trouble there might be with different height tyres (and wheels)

I'm not sure if the height is listed in the service manual (on stock tyres and wheels) or not. That would be the first place I would look.

The other way is to remove the springs and measure the uncompressed length of course...
