The reason why they have one nub, two nub, three nub four (day time comes and I wanna go home!)...

...is that there might be slight differences in chassis structures as well as the springs and the bushings and the other suspension parts. Comparing car with car isn't necessarily the same as comparing apples with pears but a little bit like that. As the dealer said it was too high I hope he said by how much. There are limits in the FSM that compare parts of the suspension with other parts - i.e. making the car level. With this information it is easy to work out the size of the pad / number of nubs.

But I guess he didn't actually measure that did he.
