There should be a barcode on the driver's side rear axle , within the #s below the bar code will be a 321 , 355 , 392 .
If you have the 6 speed xsmn you likely have the 355 if you have the 8speed you likely have the 321 ratio but if your lucky you'll have the 392s with the 8 speed .

Or you can contact your dealer or FCA site with your vin# and get a complete build sheet as the vehicle left the factory .

I have the 6 speed. I did try to look but if the barcode is what I was looking at, its pretty crusted up. I tried to clean it but no good.

Love the way it sits now

Got this shot tonight

Height

How tall is it, black? You've done what I would like to do. And what kind of mpg do you get?

I just had this done this past weekend. I'm not sure of the height. I did the Bils 2.8 in the front and a one inch spacer in the back. I expect to lose MPG with the studded Duratracs, but I don't know what that is yet. I was getting 20-21 MPG mostly highway with stock tires.

can you measure the bottom of the wheel well just over the axle? that should tell me what I need for height

that looks like a standard 7 foot opening on the garage. Is it? do you have the XM antenna sticking up on the driver's side?

I have the XM antenna on the drivers side. I did a quick measure on the garage doors, looks around 7' 10'' .

Can you point out what you mean by this?

Ok guys. Maybe I’m missing it but I know there is a different part for a 2017 with 4x2, anyone have it? I want to level the front as an early Christmas present. Any advantage to changing out rears at same time?

Darn 8 foot garage doors. I've only got 7' clearance

if you measure from the ground up to the metal, but using the axle as your centerline, that should tell me what I need to know.

Just under 42'' in the rear, just under 41" in the front. Does that help?

 

[shadowhawk]

exactly what I need. Thanks That's 4 inches higher front, and 3 inches higher rear than my current stock setup. I might nick the garage door

 

[SeriousBlack]

Good. Can I ask why?

I plan to do the same suspension work you did, but I'm not sure I can fit 35" tires on it with the shorter garage height. I might have to go with 295s, rather than a 35" tire.

Ok, makes sense! Good luck with your setup! I know I did a lot of research on here to get exactly what I wanted.

Why did you go with the rear spacer rather than Bilstein rears? or even the Fox 2.0?

Bilsteins in the front are ajustable as this is a strut assy with the shock inside .

The rears have coils with the shock completely separate and not adjustable via a shock .
Hope this helps !

I know that. Just wondering why SeriousBlack decided on the spacer, versus a shock. I've seen them both ways; just not sure why people are going one way over the other.
