rear suspension height setting

Can anyone tell me what the correct distance from arch to drive shaft centre is on the rear before I do the replacement nuts and bolts up to spec?
I have just replaced the gaiters on the air shocks and fitted new shock bolts and hub bolts to the lower wishbone and just need to get the right height before I nip them up!
485mm springs to mind but not sure if this is correct?

Ur so welcome and hope all goes well

Know when I replaced my rear upper arms it was fun trying to jack it up to get the correct height before locking the bolts off

Did also replace the rear drop links and brake hoses at the same time

Apologises I’m waffling again , lol

All the best mate

All done now no squeeking now, what with rebuilt engine just doing the "snagging" thermostat housing leaking thank god I took my old one off before junking the knackered lump got loads of bits off the replacement engine that was surposed to be from a RRS but turned out to be from a Jag!!! fuel pump fuel rails and alternator and sump all different!! so if anyone needs any bits including loom give me a shout!
I might put all the bits up for sale at some point but cant be bothered to photograph and list them ATM Whistle

That’s awesome , chuffed that you’ve got that lot done

Know the feeling , bought a complete front loom as I wanted some connectors, ended up putting it in a big plastic box in the corner of my shed , kept for one of those rainy days Whistle
