the first thing that comes to mind is that you have a 3.92 rear end. the power wagon has a 4.56. the sway bars disconnect allowing more wheel travel.
your truck and mine have alot in common, except Ive got the CTD, 6spd, manual throw transfer, and the AAM 1050 axels w/4.10's
now I loned mine up next to a 2500 with the hemi in it and mine sat just ever so sligtly lower in the front. other than that everything was the same. the lower front end was due to the extra 500 pounds from the Cummins over the hemi.
I just look at it like I'm sporting two hemi's under the hood

havent had the time
but I do know it will pull a 60 foot maple out of the ground by the roots in 4L and reverse while still rideing the clutch and not touching the fuel pedal

I've been to my dealer several times in the past month or so and haven't seen one yet. Either they're not getting them around here or they're selling them as soon as they come in!!

Don't get me wrong - I'd love to have that truck, but most off-road trails I've been on that require swaybar disconnects and full skid plates are too narrow and have too sharp of switch-backs to handle a big QC Ram. If I were buying a trail vehicle, I think I'd have to go with a Jeep. Oh wait...I did.
