Nope, I don't believe it is since it's completely non-adjustable from the factory.

............or is that due to the age of the springs and sag?

Just asking.

It is sag.. the early models have the same specified ride height but over time the stock springs give up as much as an inch.

Ride height is lower...We've compared lots of cars. Defender's low mileage 01 sit an inch or more lower than a high mileage 02.

i would think the mileage would not affect the height. If a car is an 01 with low miles the spirngs would still have settled over 3 or 4 years compared to an 03 with high mileage that has had 1 to 2 years of spring settling.
