That's kinda news to me.
Some 85's sure sit higher in the front, like weekenders, but of hundreds of
85 GL's I've never noticed they are any higher than any other 2WD vanagon,
except late Carats of course....but near as I can tell, unless you are
talking a quarter inch or something small like that, samo samo.

these details. (of which I'm appreciative)
Pretty cool.....
