CS and SCs came from the factory with the same ride height.
Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.....

Thanks, Wes.

Reviewing the previous post it’s looking like the rear stock height for a T6 is around 21.75”, can anyone confirm this?

I’ve been to measure mine and it’s measuring at 20.75”.

Has it been lowered or could worn rear shock absorbers cause this? I assume it’s probably been lowered?

The standard shocks have no bearing on height, modern gas pressure ones might Ari’s it 1/4”. It seems to me that the factory height was not that consistent, possibly more than a 1 inch range. Yours looks like the low end of normal but in my mind could be factory. It looks right where I’d set mine.
