The tape measure method pretty much doesn't work and guarantees you're going to get softfaults all the time. Far better to make up a set of height blocks!
I mentioned blocks on the other site,, guess who cut me down,, lmao
That's why RAVE says that calibration must be carried out with Testbook. Presumably Testbook comes with a calibrated tape measure........

Saw his reply, made me laugh.
I may be wrong but the official dealer calibration tool is a box with metal pieces of different length to be placed upon bumpstops...
What would dealers know,, lol, if you've got buggered height sensors, you definitely need blocks to get the readings right,, I certainly wouldn't be faffing around with a tape measure,,

Huh? The nationwide standard and accepted way of shortening a piece of wood is to lean it against the kerb and stamp on it!

It's two sets of plastic blocks which don't match any of the "normal" height settings. Proper Testbook will read the sensors on one set of blocks, read the sensors on the other set of blocks, and calculate all sixteen values to suit from there.
We can do it with four sets of blocks although the shortest are too small to stick out of the bumpstops anyway. I only ever made up a set of motorway and normal height blocks which are from memory 85mm/90mm front/rear and 100mm/105mm respectively. I guess I could make up a set of four 40mm spacers to do extended height using the "normal" blocks.

That's exactly what I did- works fine
