I normally would think the same. However, the SDL sits about 2 inches low in the rear and it has 125K on the clock and is 18 years old.
The SD sits
dead level, has a tighter feel than the SDL and is 20 years old. It's rear springs are at the same height today as they were when the vehicle was originally manufactured.
Go figure.
