RE: Questions bout Ram Sport
As greenmachine said, the only advantage to a sport is bumpers, grill, and taillights match the truck color. On 99-01 sports the front bumper is not a standard bumper it is a molded plastic over some support. The grill is different shaped than a standard grill. Also get some fancy stickers and I think 265 tires come standard.
A sport does not sit any higher due to suspension modifications. It may be a bit taller compared to something with 245 tires but not because of suspension. Also it doesn't mean anything on the gearing because I have a 5.9 auto with 3.55 gears.
Some sports also have the off road package which has diff. shocks and 285 tires and they do sit higher. Hopefully this clears up everything.

RE: Questions bout Ram Sport
I'm not positive on the year it started, but I do believe the 01+ sport models had 2 bulbs per headlight instead of one. I know a lot of guys swap sport housings into non-sport trucks. It's something I will be doing sometime after winter.

My '98 has the trailer tow package and has 3.91s with a suregrip. It also has 265 tires. A friend of mine has a '98 SLT without trailer and his has 3.55 open rear with 245 tires. When we park side by side mine is a little taller. My guess is the tires like said before.
