Question:
What is the difference between these two products? I have a 2017 Silverado 4WD Part Number: SSR-209-40 Part Number: SS45MR

Hey Dean, so the big difference is the capacity of the two SumoSprings kits # SSR-209-40 and # SS45MR that fit your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. The part # SS45MR has a 2,800 lb weight capacity and the # SSR-209-40 is 1,000 lb.
The higher the capacity the more support but the higher the chance the ride quality might suffer or be harsh. So depending on how bad you need the additional support is how you'd pick between the two.
