ECE 2/4 Premium and CPP 3/5

Did the one on the right today.

70 on left, 72 on right.

Looks like more than a 1-2" difference.

Orange has 245/45/15 on 15x6's IIRC, too dark to read right now...

The 72 has wider since it has PS.

Re: ECE 2/4 Premium and CPP 3/5

Have you measured from the ground up to the center of the wheel-well on the fender? I'd be curious as to the difference between the two trucks, front to rear.

Re: ECE 2/4 Premium and CPP 3/5

Can't wait to see what the measurements are... maybe it's just the angle of the shot, but I can't believe there's that kind of a difference.

Is the 3/5 springs only?

Re: ECE 2/4 Premium and CPP 3/5

I'm mainly curious why the trucks look so differently. It's amazing to me...
