Default 2005 3.5 sxt ride height
I just bought a 2005 3.5 SXT and the front is high. Previous owner installed new struts. Could they be wrong? Is there different struts for the hemi or V6?

Could be. V6 is lighter than the V8. If R/T spec struts (specifically the spring part) went in instead of V6 spec the front end would sit a bit high. Since they're new can you still see a part number?

You'd either have to pull the wheel to see or possibly pull the strut.
