I just purchased a 2001 ram 1500 sport. I am trying to figure out if this thing has a suspension lift or if maybe its' just the off road package that is giving me the extra height. It was repainted so there isn't any decals or badging that makes it obvious. I've tried a vin decoder but it didn't help much either. I have 17in wheels, tow hooks and a 5.9L. it rides very stiff, which makes me think it's an aftermarket lift, but i was hoping someone on here could give me some pointers on other places to look to find out. I am a converted GM guy, this is my first ram so I am still learning....

Off road package had 4.10 gears. Check the tag on the rear axle, and see what it says.

It says 4.10 on the sticker on the axle tube. It has rancho 5000's on it and what appears to be spacer blocks on the top of the axle tube under the leaf, but maybe that's part of the off road suspension components or just a dodge thing

It has 33 x 12.50 x 17 Pro comp all terains on it and there is plenty of clearance. is this possible with just the off road package alone?

It doesnt say OFF ROAD under the 4x4 sticker on your tail gate? IMO, it seems that you have the Off Road PKG.

he said that it It was repainted so there isn't any decals or badging that makes it obvious.

Off Road package was approximately 1.5" to 2" higher than "normal" Rams, had 4.10 gears, had a factory LSD in the rear axle, and 17" wheels. Every other Ram had 16" wheels.

Do your rims look like this?

exactly! so is it a pain in the *** to get into(well kind of lol) cuz I have one..

Oh, dont Off Road editions come with more skid plates than normal rams? I think so, I think I read that somewhere

Yes my rims look just like that, I'm going to assume at least for now that I have an off road edition. the next thing to determine is if i have a stock suspension or if there has been a small lift kit installed.
