I'm not sure how helpful this is, either, but my front ride height is about 27.5", which, if it is to believed, maybe .5-.75" lower than stock. I'm only running an aftermarket stab bar in the front, and everything else is completely stock - including alignment settings. I AM running a larger HE, though, too, which should hold a little more water, and is A LOT thicker than OEM.
I never got around to weighing them, but I'd say the 2650 might have another 20-lbs on top of the 1740. The casting is significantly different between the two, with the 1740 having what looks like a LOT denser look; the 2650 looks more porous.

Thank you very much, your observation regarding density is interesting. I’m guessing the the quality of the OEM casting may be higher, possibly a pressurized casting to eliminate porosity. It seems you also have port injection which also adds a few lbs.
Loving all the observations!
