What is the correct ride height? 1987 300TD.

The issue is that setting the ride height too high will increase the hydraulic pressure that the control valve must hold, and that increased pressure will eventually cause the valve to fail if the ride height is set too high. New control valves are $$$, so I'd rather find the "too high" setting before I need a new control valve.
