It's fairly common for the springs on the extended S class bodies to lose some height with time. Check out many SEL or SDL vehicles and they all sag in the back unless some work has been done to the springs.
The '86 had springs that met the spring rate but the spring was 1/4" short on it's load height when checked on a proper spring machine. The 1/4" translates into about 5/8" in the height of the body.
