Getting ready to replace the shocks/struts in my 2015 with factory raised ride height. Anyone know how the factory lift is achieved?

I was curious to this as well. My build sheet shows "raised ride height. " And yes, I know it's because of the 20" wheels. But front to back, what extra height? An inch from what I've read?

What are your ground to fender measurements?

Wow that seems really high. The factory right height is achieved by different springs that’s why the heights are all over the place. Most factory heights are in the 36” range and the “raised ride height” option is normally 1” higher so most measurements land in 36”-38” range
Did you buy used? A previous owner may have installed leveling blocks. Hopefully @512RAM will post his measurements

Nope,new. There is not a leveling kit in it. That's why I'm thinking taller springs maybe?

That's close to what mine is. I also have the "Raised Ride Height" on my build sheet. I'm at about 39.125 in front and 39-39.375 in the rear. No clue if the previous owner put a leveling spacer on there or not lol haven't looked.

It definitely has taller springs with the raised ride height option. What size tires do you have on it?

I would also think with less than a 1/2” or rake your truck looks nose high. The shape of the hoods make them appear like the front end is higher

Looks about right from the the heights posted so far. It's a common factory option...no unicorn.

Two guys posted 36.5” you posted 39 1/4” ? You’re claiming you’re over 2” higher than others the one confirmed he has the raised ride height option.

Raised ride height with a 3" nose dive? Maybe that's the unicorn....
