To get the exact amount I made a mark with a hacksaw on an allen wrench 11mm below the bend. This way I insert the small end and rotate it inside he tranny and like a dipstick it will show you the fluid level.
As it's been said, don't use ramps for this procedure, use 4 jackstands instead.
The reason is that if you remove the diagonal braces and the aluminum skidplate fro the car while it sits on the suspension (loading the suspension) the alignment will be out of speck and you may not even be able to re-install the parts.
Happy Boxstering,
