Used the 40mm Jamex kit, didn`t actually measure how much it`s dropped, `coz I changed the wheels at the same time. I don`t get any clearance issues though (note that campers tend to be heavier towards the front side with all the camping and water tank stuff so you may need to "adjust" the front spring to compensate and get it level, I did)
