No, I wasn't necessarily trying to measure the same heights for
everything, though I suppose I could have made it work that way.
Side-to-side I used them to shim the car level on the jackstands, then
the cross-measurement (combined with a bunch of plumb-bobs and some tape
on the floor) more or less confirmed that the car was square within the
(1/16in or so) tolerances of my measuring equipment.
