Default Front suspension difference?

My friend has a 2009 Crew Cab 4x4 Big Horn. The front of his truck sits higher than my 2010 Sport. What is different between the two? I like his stance better.

Yes it is. I found one post saying they changed it for 2010 to improve fuel economy. Anyone know if that's true and what was changed?

His is completely stock. At first, I thought Dodge may have decided to give the Sport more of a rake, but from what I've read, the suspension is the same.

Go to an online dealership parts catalog and look up springs.

There are about a dozen part #'s.

Same tires/rims? Maybe they screwed up in the factory and put the trx shocks/coils in his instead of the right ones, wouldn't be the first time.
