....there is only a .5 inch increase in truck height/.5" increase in ground clearance. I've seen more than one member state that it is a 1 to 1 relation which is incorrect. This may help someone for whom height/ground clearance is critical.

And another thing lol :
Please use the search function before making a new post on a old topic. 5th Generation trucks are well over a year old (1.5?) so 99% of the time the question has already been asked and answered 1000x. Members and moderators spend time and effort to create common thread sections that contain a wealth of information, pictures etc. Also each new thread dilutes the search function. You have to sift through 10 more threads that may only have 10 responses and there are often pages of great information already here. You can always ask a new question in an existing thread whose topic is the same. I think this would encourage participation in the site and we should always try and promote what is already here.

Just so you know, this topic has already been covered before. Please use the search tool.

Also, as you mention, 99% of topics have already been covered here, so let’s just lock up the forum and turn this into a Ram wiki. There’s no need for new users or questions. All you need is already here. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for thinking your question is so original it deserves its own thread.
