About what the ss lowers + ~1.5 in. The base model will be as low as the ss but there isn't the same ground effects so it'll look a bit higher.

Pretty sure my tank was close to empty too on the after pics lol

Pros: Lower, looks 10x better, very good price for what you get, ride quality is the exact same, smooth install, better handling
Cons: None

The roads in Bg are not that bad so i dont know how well they would fill on rough roads but on decent roads i cant tell a difference at all. Thought going into it i would lose a little ride quality but that was not the case

SSC cm are the same. I just spoke to Leanna at ssc\cm. She says zzps site is wrong in mentioning 1.5 in the back, so is the SSC website which is not updated/obsolete.

I want these springs but have no idea how to make sure I end up OK in the back vs others who have it horrible.

Unsure CG2006. Maybe someone ordered or was sent the incorrect spring ( SS vs non SS) And took pics. Leanna told me rvw is the parent, SSC the wholesale and cm is the retail. All is tesame

Can anyone grab me a measurement from ground to fender on their CM's? Specifically if you have 17's. I'm always curious what others is because I feel like my drop is not the same as everyone else who posts up on CM's. It's likely just me always wanting them to be lower haha

The measurement from the fender to the ground doesn't have anything to do with the size of the wheel. The wheel gap does though.

The front of mine is 25.5 inches from the fender to the ground.
