I have been working with a lot of rally cars with McPherson at the front but fixed axle (no independent) suspension at the back. For improving the cross weight I only adjust the front ride height, since making ride height at the back in my experience has no practical effect, normally I got almost 50% cross, but always some kg are left. What do you suggest here to offset or eliminate this delta?

More information on the specific vehicles would help, but I'd suggest that for a live beam axle, such as used here, it's less critical because there is such a wide range of the torque induced variations in 'cross weight'.

An extreme example of this can be seen in stadium and off road trucks used for racing, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZCejCkSJIE&t=1s

Some of the cars are Peugeot 208, Renault Clio Sport, attached some pictures.
