Either that or check your tire inflation. J/K

also, what year is your xb. My friend has the first xb that came out. THe purple one, i think that was 04' and his car sits about 1 inch lower than my brand new one. It is from spring wear, i am sure that the springs did not change since then.

The other box might have had bigger wheels & tires.
My box lifted about an inch or so after I put 18" wheels on it.

Or it could have been lowered like you said since I just saw you had 18's on.

Oh man! Better get it back to stock sometime before next winter . . . the xB barely has enough clearance over snow-covered roads in stock trim; lowered could really be a problem!!

Oh. AL. I guess that's Alabama.

Nevermind.

Its an 05 with 18 inch rims. THe one I parked next 2 had some aftermarket rims on it I would say they were probabley 16s. It possibly could be from the shocks being used more than the other. Or maybe how much tire pressure I had and this person had. I just know it was lower than the other. Luckily I won't have 2 worry about snow where I am.
