Sounds to me like it's throwing a hissy-fit because you're thinking of selling it Rolling Eyes

I guess because you may need more height/ground clearance at the front as you are more likely to approach obstacles going forwards? .

makes sense tim, also what about when you brake the front goes down and the extra 10mm accounts for this maybe.. ... - .- -.

Maybe its so they emulate the squat that early 2 door Classics used to get under acceleration. Wink

I love seeing RR's boot it off the line and the rear end sit down ... gives it a look that no other 4x4 has.

I always assumed the fronts had a bigger gap cause the fronts needed more space for the wheel which turns as well as going up and down. V8 or else ...
