Most people will try to keep the measurements front to back the same when leveling or lifting so if you have different measurements, that generally is a good idea it isn't lifted at all. Not always of course, but usually.
I never understood why people say don't measure from ground up. It's easier than guessing exactly where the center of the hub is.

I'm not disagreeing with the different tires and air pressure comments but I'm sure if I put in 37psi (what my pirellis had) into my 305/55 coopers the tire wouldn't be inflated to proper specs and give a false reading. The cooper would need more air as it's a larger tire and the capacity is more than the pirelli.

Stock I was sitting at 36 3/4" and rear is at 38 3/4" on a 275/55r20. Now with the bilstiens at the highest setting and the increase in tire size I'm at a baby hair over 40" (1/8") in front and 39 3/4" for the rear.
