i dont know if its my eyes but isee other rigs with a 3 inch lift and same size tires as me but theres look waaay higher. i just gotthe 3 inch skyjacker coils w/ no arms. does the full kit with the control arms lift it more? heres a perfect example.

Arms don't give you any more lift. But, yer right, it doesn't look as tall.... Wonder if its just us?

 

honestly i think its just the camera angle, i used to do the same thing man, why is their bigger! and then i ended up with a ram that was 9" lift in the front and 6" in rear :P

 

its super annoying, i don't understand it. makes me want to get the 5" lift but that willl probably look low too! plus i would have to buy new bilsteins again$$$ and my 33's are brand new. im screwed

 

A lot of lifts lift the rear an inch or two Also.

 

Mine has a similar setup, 3" lift and 32s, yours does look lower than mine. I'd measure hub to fender and compare with stock. I would do my measurement but there is no flat ground here, it would be different each side.

 

If you had used a coil spacer, I could see your point. But you used new coils so it's just an illusion. Take a pic from the same angle as your example and change the bumper to stock style. Apples to oranges buddy. Now, the rear end and stock coils could be different. My ST model had only 3 leaves in the pack and softer coils up front. I would park next to other 1500s and could notice a difference. Dodge used various suspension setups over the years.
