How do I know if my used Ram was raised?
I noticed some people getting 2.5" front raises on this site? Why is that? Do stock 1500's come with a lower suspension in the front? My 1500 seems like its just as high as a 2500 or 1500 hemi.... and its even on both sides..
sorry im kinda a newb its my frist truck

Geez TD, do you use that line with women too?[sm=smiley17.gif]
The reason for the front raise is the front sits lower so that when you have a load in your truck it will sit level. If yours is level it's either got a leveling kit or they've cranked up the torsion bars.

Look closely at the front springs -- there may be a black/red/blue/whatever color donut-looking thing at the top of the spring. That would be the lift. Someone may have gotten gimpy and put longer springs on it. That apparently is a bit of over-kill.

Don't bother looking for a "donut thing" dude. You have an '05 4x4, it's not coil over, it's torsion bar suspension. It's possible your torsion bars have been cranked a couple of turns to level it. Shoot me a pic of your truck, taken from the side, on as levelground as possible. I'll tell you what's been done, if anything, to it...
