SXT suspension difference??
I took some measurements of the wheel height of my stock 10 SXT. I found that my 265/70R17 31.7" tires sit 31" front and back and the overall height from ground to wheel well is.. front 35.5" @ 40PSI and rear 38.5" @ 42PSI. That is a 3" difference and am wondering why? My friends stock 09 Sport sits level on 33" 24s.. I'm assuming the suspension for an ST/SXT is more for hauling/towing and would not be as stiff as a sport for performance. Any ideas?

2010 to improve mileage / aerodynamics they lowered the front a little bit. The 10's seem to have a lot more rake than the 09's do.
The only difference is a TRX is a little bit taller in the front, it uses a different strut that preloads the coil a little more. Otherwise everything is pretty much exactly the same.
