I recently purchased a 2017 1500 Laramie with lt275/65/20 tires, the suspension looks stock in front and helper bags in rear. the truck sits level right now with wheel well measurements of fr: 39.25" Rear: 40"
does anyone know why its level from factory and if I install billsteins do I take the chance of losing height?

Looks like you have a spacer up front. Your cv’s have a bit of an angle, not much but they aren’t parallel and most Rams have way more than 3/4” of take. Also look at the sway bar end links and tie rod ends, they don’t look to be in a factory stock position.

This^^ didnt notice OP but your sway bar links are the same as mine. I agree there is a spacer in there.

I agree you have either a spacer or some kind of lift strut. I’m leaning toward spacer, but the only reason I mention the strut is because it doesn’t quite look factory. Here is a picture of my factory strut. Compared to yours, the welds around the base look different and yours also looks almost like it is powder coated?
