Garage
If you're on stock tbars, the wheel rates are pretty soft (25-ish N/mm), or about 5 lb/mm. So if you measure ride height the factory way (wheel center to torsion bar center distance) on level ground, and you're within 5 or 6 mm side to side, your corner balance is not off by much.

Garage floors are rarely level, BTW, but if you measure carefully with a good level you can usually shim the car level with 1/4" & 1/2" plywood squares. This provides some challenge in measuring ride heights, of course, as you now have to adjust your measured height by lateral measurement location ... not complicated math, but annoying no less.
