The springs are not chopped. The ride height is approximately correct for these vehicles. The tail could be slightly higher, depending on fuel and weight in the trunk.

Be sure you understand what you're getting into with these vehicles when their mileage gets over 200K...............

Ummm, that car has been lowered without a doubt, it is sitting about 2-3 inches lower than a stock SDL. I've had 200-300 pounds in the truck of a 300sdl and it didnt sit that low.

The rear springs and differential mount on yours have been replaced at some point in its life.

Most SDL's will sit at the approximate height of the vehicle in the photo............or lower...............with 25 year old springs and differential mounts.
