Default Seat height in a stock 4x4 1500

Hey guys.

What is the seat height in a stock 2002-2005 dodge ram 4x4 1500?
Measures from the seating surface to the ground (road) would be most useful.
And how much inch you can lower / higher the seat?

thinking about buying a dodge ram, Im always in trouble with my wife. shes worrying that she couldnt drive that thing because she is short.

Thanks anyways.

Get out a measuring tape and look for one at a junk yard or ask a 02-05 ram owner in public who would be kind enough to let you take some measurements :P

Never measured actual seat height, but I did measure step height before and compared it to my fathers f-150. I'd be more worried about the actual floor height than seat height. The seat could be on the floor but if she can't place her foot that high, there's no pioint.
I'm going off of 4yr old memory but I'm pretty certain on my measurements.
pavement to floor mat height was 29" on my Ram w/33" rubber
Pavement to floor mat height was 27.5" on a F-150 w/31.75" rubber

Both 4x4 Quad/Ext cabs.

Thank you, thats useful.
In what position was the seat? highest / lowest
30 inch tires are stock I guess, right?

The seat was at the lowest

And I'm guessing 30inch tires are stock, when I bought truck it had bigger tires but they where worn out so I went to a guy I know that owns tire store where I live and bought just tires and he put them on and I didn't ask for anything bigger, Planning on putting some Nittos next
