Im measuring ride height with the batteries in the car, no under tray and after dropping the car from about 25cm up.
I dont actually have a ride height measuing tool, im using my digital calipers as best i can.

There are a lot of differences with weights of batteries and other components that makes things different, but refilling shocks and gaining 4mm is a little curious. Measure out a toothpick or something with your calipers and try and use that as a good guide, I know using calipers can be tough as you try to get it near the table etc.
I dont have my car in front of me but if I remember 20mm is close to bones level or slightly below level, so you can use that as your guide as well
Dont stress too much about being a mm off here or there on collars and ballcups, it is the actual vehicle measurement that counts.
If you are reading 20mm ride height on the calipers, reading the correct camber to the tires, toe up front etc etc... that is more important than the 1.7mm it says the collar should be spaced, or the 21mm it says should be visibile on a turnbuckle etc..
