Measure your rear springs. If they are three inches wide...... those are from a heavier truck. Might also be an add a leaf?

Sure...so insecure opinionated guys like you can point out and pick on everyone who likes the look of a lifted truck....Do you even own a dodge ram? I thought your a little s10 guy (explains the jealousy)

By the way back on topic....8 rims with 35" tires makes the tires look really skinny and they can wear funny since the sidewalls are being squeezed in more than they are designed for....I had 8" rims with my 35" tires and swapped to 10" rims and the tires look much bigger and beefier...

when i bought it 5 yrs ago, it has sport stickers on the rear quarter, but i dont have a painted front bumper or nothin so its not a sport i dunno why they were on there, so i took them off, and i dont have any off-road edition stickers or nothin either, just look like a plain 1500 like urs but white and reg. cab. but for some reason it sits higher than other, i mean yea i have 33s on it but just seems like its still higher for some reason. the blocks on the rear look like the factory ones. it still sit lower in the front, most kits level it out, so thats why i think its not an old kit,no spacers on it or nothin, which leads me to think its 2500 suspension or something or maybe im just being wierd. and i dont wanna pay to have the vin#read, actually i think i can get my cousin who has his own car lot to run it for me.

the older sports didnt have painted bumpers I believe.but if yours is a 2001 maybe the bed or bumpers are off another truck? and 33" tires fit with no lift unless your springs are sagging...measure your front spring if its 11" its stock I thought the same thing about mine being bigger....i think its the 2wd trucks your comparing to.
getting the vin read is free online..just do a search here for "vin"..although when I got my report from Chrysler it was very incomplete
