Power Wagon ground clearance; is it true?
Hey Everybody,
What are the differences in ground clearance between the Power Wagon and the rest of the Dodge Ram 4X4 line?[>:] I know that the spring rates are different, but are the springs actually higher? From what I've been able to discern, It seems like the Power Wagon is a pair of thirty-three inch tires plus somevery slightly taller front springs, basically a leveling kit with big tires.
Barring the ramp-breakover and approach angle, if I leveled the front of my Mega Cab CTD 4X4 and put on some thirty-three inch BFG A/T's would I essentially have the same ground clearances as a Power Wagon?
Just want to have as much ground clearance as I can without exceeding factory specs and thereby voiding the warranty. [:@]
Thanks,
John
P.S. Maybe someone lucky enough to actually own a Power Wagon would be so kind as to actually go out and physically measure; A. The heighth from the edge of the tailgate when open to the ground. B. The distance from the top of the wheel arch of a front and rear wheel respectively to; A. the hub and B. the ground. C. The top center of the front bumper to the ground. Thiswould be very cool.

Yes, to the differentials, but you may have a bigger rear axle on your CTD that may afford less clearance there. The rear on a Power Wagon is the AAM 10.5 inch. Is that what you have?
