Just bought this 15 outdoorsman. I previously owned a 3rd gen but got the typical rust so traded it in on this. I know the truck is at least leveled. I asked the dealership if they knew anything about it but they had no information on it. I did crawl underneath and it doesn't have beilsteins and of course the blocks would be hidden under the strut tower. What do you guys think? Measured the front and rear and both sitting a little above 40 inches.IMG_20180623_204543.jpg

Yep. Most likely using a leveling kit with spacers. My 16 Outdoorsman front sits a little above 36.

Is your leveled or stock suspension?
Mine is stock currently. I have bilsteins in my garage going on soon. I am going to set mine at 2.1 which should take up to 39 ish.

I had bilsteins on my old ram loved them. The ride quality was nice. Maybe even better than stock.

Took the truck over to my buddy's house today to have him look at the truck and he noticed it had aftermarket upper control arms. The back coil springs were also upgraded but had a Mopar tag on them. Would they be off a 2500 or do they use leaf springs on 2500's? So after all it seems like a quality leveling kit. I was just worried it was a junk block kit or something off eBay.

Lol yeah definitely need to do that. Not sure to stick with the 17's and add bigger tires or bump up to the 20's. Personally leaning towards the 20's but hate to spend the money. I ran 275/65/20 on my old ram that was leveled and they were perfect in my opinion. Roughly a 34in tire.

So after looking around I found the uca have a red bushing on top. I then went back to the rear springs and was able to get a picture of the tag on the springs. Seems to me they are the stock springs in the rear with a zone off road 2in lift up front? I attached a picture of the zone off road kit.

So I've been wondering since the rear has the stock springs why it seems to sit higher than .Stock. 40in. I got to thinking maybe it had a body lift? I crawled underneath the truck a d took these pics. I'm not sure what's stock but what do you guys think?

From what I've found It's leveled with the zone off road 2in leveling kit. I bought it this way from the dealership. I've been trying to find out exactly what all has been done. If it does have a body lift im thinking this could be it since they used the zone off road leveling kit.

I dont know enough about the factory body mounts to answer your question . But do you have tow hooks in the front ? If so you dont have a body lift.

You can also look to see if the lower fan shroud is missing. That is removed for a body lift.

You can look through the directions for the zone body lift the compare to your rear bumper. See if any of the modifications have been done to it.
