Default Simple question: How much higher is the 2500 compared to 1500

Did a search but couldn`t find the right terms with my limited english. How much higher is the 2500 compared to 1500, my guess is about 2.5 inches?

Thanks!

A 4wd 2500 sits about 2 inches higher off the axles than a 4wd 1500.

Most say about 2", but when I installed my 2" lift on my 1500, I was higher then any stock 2500 I would park next too, and also ones running bigger tires (but just barely). I would say it is less the 2", like 1.5". From the factory, it was probably 2", but they are sagged by now, so that is probably why a fresh 2" lift on my 1500 made me taller then a stock 2500.

I know that I am taller than stock 4wd 2500 ( I park next to one @ work)with no lift kit on mine, is there a reason behind you needing to know this?

Thanks for the great answers

I have a 1998 Dodge Ram Sport 4x4 5.9, I needed to know that because every 2500 ram I see on the street is notably higher than mine (about 2 inches but it is noticeable), mine is stock. I have a modified Land Rover Defender with a 7 inches kit, and that´s my ride for all days, thats why I see the 1500 too close to the street

I want to install a leveling kit to my truck but want to be the same or 1 inch higher than a 2500...

But in your case bamory is weird, how is your 1500 higher than a 2500 if it is stock?
