I put a jack under the axle on one side and jack it up until the tire is about an inch or so from being stuffed into the wheel well. Then I check for shock and brake line clearance on the drooped and the stuffed side then measure for bump stops. I do this on all four corners on every rig I lift. It does take time, but I've never hit the trail with a rig that the suspension doesn't work on.
