How much should a w123 raise/lower in drive and reverse?

Now that my 300cd is running again, my observation is that it raises/lowers excessively going in and out of drive and reverse.

Is there a specification for this value? A standard means to measure? Does it indicate any specific item needing replacement?

I feel like the cd has a little bit saggy rear but everything looks good and the car drives great. If I had one issue, it’s front tire wear, but my old ‘83 used to do the same thing.
