Thank you!! So my front end seems pretty accurate, passenger rear almost accurate, and driver rear off by ~ 1/2". I'll need to look into whether the stock suspension is adjustable...

Please read posts, or at least my posts, more clearly before shitting on them.

My original post said, "...the rear end...lower than the front...appears to be largely factory..."

My original post did not state I was seeking totally even wheel gap.

Thank you (seriously) for confirming my assumption.

And I also measured "bottom of rim to fender", and listed those measurements directly under ground to fender.

No one on this forum is sure what I want to tow with my car; because I didn't include that in my OP. What I'm towing, and anyone's opinion of whether I should tow anything, is irrelevant. I asked whether anyone knew of a product similar to the one I am seeking. Aside: if you can think of thousands of better solutions, I am jealous of your free time or mental computing power
