STX was a trim package between a XL and a XLT, the highrider was an option you could add to it.

They only did the highrider option to the first gens, STX lived on long after.

Sway bar and springs with lift blocks included. Looked like it was a fresh addition too. Nothing was smashed or taken off of it.

Mines a 2wd. ..I'm making it something I can get into work this winter. My 3.08s won't power the 31s. So 4.10s should do fine at sacking the gas and spinning tires.
