I see so many nose down rams that it appears to be the norm, hence all the leveling. Mine since I bought it has been already level and I thought it had a leveling kit but doesn't appear to be modified from stock. Weird?

Maybe I need a closer look. Has anybody else had a level stock ram. Mines a 2010

It looks lower in the rear to me, have you taken measurements to the top of the fenders to see what its at.

Your truck is leveled. That is not a factory ride height...unless you have a couple hundred lbs in the bed.

I might have a couple hundred pounds in there but doesn't sit much different without it loaded. Maybe an inch higher. I'll have to get a picture unloaded. This is my normal load about 200 pounds ish probably.

It's possible that it had a rake when it was new in 2010, and after 7 yrs the springs or shocks in the rear have been compressed, maybe heavy use. I've seen some new trucks on here with 1" difference to 3" difference front to rear depending on truck.

I measured to the wheel wells loaded and it was 37-7/8" in the front and 37-7/8" in the back. I can measure tomorrow since I will be unloading everything (including the hookers) to get a dry weight measurement.

The front of mine was 36" but 39" in the rear I had right around 3" of rake.

Can you see the front struts and see if they are silver or black. would guess it has a 2" level kit or so.
