Default Stock 2001 Ram 2500 Sport.

I just bought a 01 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4x4 Sport Extended Box and my truck looks a little bit bigger than the other Ram 2500's i see on the road, it doesn't look to have and suspension work done to it but i could be wrong, just wondering if any one has a couple of pics that i could compare it to. AND i was wondering if there is a way to put 33inch tires on my truck without any suspension work.

Thank you,
Erik K.

Before anyone even says it, a Sport doesn't sit higher than a non-Sport. On a 4x4 2500, 33's I believe will fit.

I cleared 35's on my 00' 2500. I'm not such what the wheel offset is(there are not stock wheels), but it clears and looks sweet.

Could you get some pics for me to compare?

Some 2500 and 3500 Rams do seem to sit higher than others. I've noticed that usually the ones with a rear sway bar sit higher than those without. Could there be some suspension difference, don't some models have an 8800lb GVWR, and others are a little lower?

Mine is the 8800 and somthing about the suspension makes it look bigger than some v8 2500s ive seen around.. mine is 2wd with long box normal cab.. i would take a picture but honestly my truck looks like crap.. i got it from my daddy and he ran it into stuff so im trying to fix the body so it will be worthy of being posted online... i know there are 2 different weights to these things cause its on the sticker inside the door.. the other is like 6600 and there is the 8800 which is circled inside my door.....
