Default Factory Levelling Option?

Was there such an option for '09 QC? Or maybe a better suspension package? It wasn't listed on the window sticker if so.

I have always thought my '09 looked almost level front to back, but today I parked inbetween my 2 friends '09 Ram CC's on level ground and the front of my truck sits about 3/4-1" higher than both of them. Trucks are all the same (rims, tires front end, 5.7L etc.) except they have crew cabs and mines a quad. Do the CC's sit lower in the front?

Thought it was just my eyes at first so we got out the tape measure and checked. Sure enough the bottom of my front bumper was 1" higher off the ground than theirs and I had 3/4" more space between top of the front tire and the bottom of the fender.

Mopar's leveling kit is 2.5 inches. I have it on my truck
Mopar's Lift kit is 4 inches.
I beleive the Sport's and the TRX's sit a little higher. Other then that I would not know why yours is higher in the front.

Only TRX sits higher. maybe the different cg is affecting stance.

I keep reading about leveling kits as well. My trucks sits very level and it is a SLT/Sport. I have one of the very early builds. Built in '08.
I just measured it and the lower lip/middle of my front Fender sits at...38".
And my rear fender, bottom of middle lip sits at...39" with a Half tank in it. So a one inch diff. Does the leveling kit make them both the exact same?

I just installed a Ready Lift Leveling kit on my 09 QC SLT

The kit is a 2inch level in the front....brought it up almost 3 inches at the wheel well level and she is pretty much level...

I'll try to get pics tonight or tomorrow.....installation is a piece of cake as well

I have a 09 early build CC and it looks level to me I can't imagine bringing the front up any more, makes no sense especially when I hear death wobble and that kind of thing.
