I picked up the Tamiya height/droop gauge, and love it for that exact purpose. It's wide enough to sit the chassis end on the desired height, and you can change the screws accordingly. Plus, it's BLUE!

That way, all the tires are set seperately especially if running foam & one has wore a little more than another. It's also very fast way to do it. R.W.
