Default All Mega Cab Owners

hey im trying to get the measurement of any mega cab 4 wheel drive 1500 2500 or 3500
gas or diesel

i bought my truck with a leveling kit and large diameter wheels and tires so i dont know a starting point for measureing my height

i will have to go through new jerseys hi rise stability test soon and ive heard they are very strict the station says to park on level ground and open the driver door then measure height from the ground to bottom of the open door

i have a 2006 1500 mega hemi and i always thought that all megas were pretty close in heights so if they start my 8 lug dodge at the height of a 5 lug dodge im going to loose inches for the test


please any mega owners list your model(1500 2500 or 3500) motor(gas or diesel) and if your tires and suspension is factory or modified

im just really curious as to what a mega cab 1500 stock height is to a mega cab 2500 stock height and if the new jersey inspection listed the correct heights for each model

It sounded like you were looking for stock height. I'm unfamiliar with the testing you are preparing for, but maybe this will help:

The body build size contains a complete chart. It shows no difference between the 1500 and 2500/3500 Mega cab. The 1500 Mega cab is on the 2500 frame with only slight difference from the 2500 Mega cab.
