that doesn't look like much movement, but the camera angle is also changed significantly between the 2 shots so it's hard to say.

What's the difference in vertical distance from the edge of the wheel to the lip of the wheel well, loaded vs. unloaded?

I just took mine down from winter jack stands today. I didn't measure, but by eye, I get no more than 2" of compression on my 2007 model. FWIW.

Yup, still have significant "drop" and flexibility! Excellent!
