Ride height, help please!

Can anyone please tell me the stock ride height of the rear end/bumper/wheel wells for a 2002 pathfinder le 4x4 (don't know if it makes a difference). I just purchased it (136k miles) knowing it needed shocks but i didnt know how bad they were, i know now that they need replacement alot sooner than i thought but I'm short on cash at the moment so I have to leave it be for right now. when I opened up the filler plug on the transfer case to change the fluid, probably about an 1/8th to 1/4 quart of fluid came out, so much so that I know it could not have been overfilled and quickly plugged up. I measured the front end and compared it to the rear (wheel well height) and the rear end sat almost two inches lower than the front (front was 33 1/2, rear was 31 5/8ths) but i dont know what the rear end should be at. for right now I just wanna jack up the rear a little to put it at the right height so when I refill the transfer case it isn't too little but I have no idea what I should bring it up to. If anyone can help it would be outstanding as right now I don't feel safe filling the transfer case back up knowing I can't put at least the same amount of fluid back in! Please help! Thank you!!
