I'll take a shot at this. You want to find the height of the axle when the car is on the ground right?
Can you put something under the axle to hold it with the spring you're using between the axle and chassis. Then lift the axle slightly off it's holders so the springs are under tension. The car would need to be parallel to the ground to start with and you would need to have something to catch the chassis if it did slip of the springs and axle. You would have to be super careful to lift it exactly straight up so the chassis didn't kick the rear end out one way or the other. I would probably have the front off the ground too so the chassis can't roll away on the front tires. Once again be super careful doing this as there is no links installed and the springs will act like a hinge between the chassis and axle.
I may not have understood what you were trying to accomplish, but if thats it, then that's how I would do it.
