In these images, I raised the right side w/a floor jack & took the measurements there.

In the first image w/the tape measure, I took the measurement @ the bottom of the side getting raised when I could start to see daylight between the bottom of the opposite side where it was touching a piece of angle I had the link bars resting on since they're wider than the table.

The 2nd image w/the tape measure is when the housing of the spherical joint was almost @ max rotation. There was still some clearance but @ that amount of travel I felt it was clearly functional w/o binding.
