Jim,=20
I am probably the least capable of any to answer your question, but I =
vaguely recall a response that Randall once gave to a similar question =
and that was that there was a planned design to have a slightly higher =
left side in anticipation of having a driver in a LHD vehicle because =
there would always be weight on the left suspension while there may not =
be a passenger in the right seat.  Just for fun, you may want to have =
someone measure the ride height with you sitting in the vehicle.  You =
may find that in an actual driving condition, your ride height is much =
closer to even.  Just trying to recall something from a true master of =
the craft, and my memory is not what it used to be.  Others may or may =
not recall a similar explanation in the past.  Best regards,
