New here, just bought an 01 1500 ext cab 4x4 5speed last week. Love it by the way (unfortunately had to get the rear end completely rebuilt the day I got it).
My question is this, how do I tell if it is stock ride height or if it has a little lift? I've seen numerous other rams of the same generation with noticeably lower ride heights, and I even checked out one up close and saw that it had 3 leaf springs (plus overload) while mine has 4 (plus overload). Yet everything looks to be stock with my suspension and there doesn't seem to be any spacers in the front. The rear is noticeably higher than the front which also leads me to believe it's stock. I don't know if there were differences between 4x4/4x2 suspension or whatnot. Tires are stock 265/75/16.

That looks to be stock height, There were differences in 4x4 and 4x2 suspensions, a 4x2 would be noticeably lower then a 4x4.
