Long tall, construction style level for me?

I need to figure out exactly where to place the body in relationship with the rear axle.. Because its a different frame and there are no body mounts yet I am lost trying to figure out exactly where the body goes in relationship with the rear wheel! I have it eyeballed but if I could get an actual measurement that would be great as I may be as much as an inch or two off..

Basically I need someone to go out with a level and get it level right in front of the rear wheel. Then mark maybe with tape where the line is, vertically. Then measure from that line to the opening of the rear door jam and if someone could give me that number that would be great!

Here are some photos of what I am talking about, but I used a laser level but same thing..

andre, as best as i can measure, i have 1.75 inches between axle center and door edge. but i have an MAF 4in lift (springs& shackles) and my rear spring perch is re-drilled 7/8ths inch further back (longer wheelbase).
