its not just you. when i went to buy my 4th gen i was originally planning on a 1500. but they slammed em to the ground and made the back seats on the quad cab way too tiny to fit any real human back there comfortably, then if you wanted the crew cab (a real back seat) they stuck you with a tiny bed. so between how low it sat and the situation on cabs vs beds, I had to get a 2500 inorder to get a real back seat and real bed.
However my 2500 still sits lower than all f250s and I have even had newer f150s pull up next to me sitting higher.
My fathers 08 1500 only sits about 2 or 3 inches lower than my 2500

It's all about MPG's these days. The lower the truck - the better the aerodynamics. The 2nd gens were even higher stock rides than the 3rd gens, and the 4th gens are the lowest yet.
Chrysler is looking to get as much mileage as possible in these trucks - since that is what the majority of people want - because that is what the mainstream media is drilling into our heads these days. For example, I think every one of us has read one of the hundred media articles in the last couple of years - written by some city-slicker editor - who thinks that no one should own a truck, because they ruin our planet, and you should only rent one if you REALLY need to haul something once or twice a year. You can't really blame Chrysler for trying to appeal to the most number of customers, especially post-bankruptcy.
You can always put a lift on, if you've got the cash
