Ride Height Help

Does anybody know what the correct ride height for an '86 z-51 car is? Where do you check the height and how do you adjust it? I searched the Helms and Haynes but could not find it.
thanks

It's kinda hard to explain, it's in the GM shop manual with pics. Email me and I'll send you a digital pic of the pages.

I couldn't find it in the shop manual, I guess I didn't look hard enough.
Thanks

wheelbase=96.2"
length=176.5"
width=71.0"
height=46.7"

maybe these will help.
