I would get under the front end and measure how much travel room there is between the upper bump stop and whatever suspension component moves up into it. Most late model vehicles have very little upper suspension travel. My guess is you will only have 2-3 inches of travel at best. Take whatever measurement you get, add an inch to account for some compression of the rubber bump stop, and that's how far above the tire I would start out with.
