So, my assumption would be this:

1. Adjust coilover lower spring pearch
2. Jack under lower control arm to compress spring until car lifts off of jack stand.
3. Measure floor to center of hub and floor to top of frame rail.
4. Ensure the difference between measurements is within spec of what the manufacturer calls out. In this case it's DSE calls for 2.9" +or- 1".
5. Adjust spring perch until correct height is attained.

Also...does the amount of compression of the suspension at the point it lifts the car off of the jack stand change if increased weight is introduced (motor/trans)? If so, it seems like it would affect setting ride height.
