Hey rsonedecker, I’ve called Ram customer support and been back and forth to my local dealership several times, sorry to say nothing has really been solved yet. I’m still not 100% sure i have the 1” lift. I’ve been doing a lot of research and comparing my truck to others. As far as I can tell I got the correct suspension parts installed unfortunately the one sticker on the shocks that actually say lifted or non lifted is a paper sticker and too damaged to read on my shocks so that was no help. It bothers me that my truck sits the same hight as a stock Laramie when I ordered it with the Offroad package but
At this point I’m just considering just doing a lift kit and being done with it. I’m still doing research on lift kits too not being a 100% about the Offroad 1” difference is a concern could make a difference on a lift kit too.
So to be honest things are just up in the air at the moment. I’m just trying to do as must research as I can so I can figure out how to go forward
Well, we can see you have the parts, so I'm sure you have the ORP (and don't worry about the sticker, the part numbers tell the story). And if your truck is measuring at 22", you've got some kind of lift because no regular Laramie was above 21.5" that I measured. But what I can offer you is experience in measuring trucks like crazy, and now with my own truck (finally) - depending on how the truck is sitting, and I mean just even a little "not level", the measurement can vary by 1/2" easily. My truck sitting on the parking pad at the house here sits at 21.5" on one side and just over 21" on the other side (almost a complete .5" different, and it's only VERY slightly angled for drainage. And as I said, if you measured a regular Laramie at 22" then that's not a normal height for a Laramie, or it was not sitting level, etc. How many trucks have you measured, because my concern in your endeavor is that I only hear this "22 inch" measurement, and I'm wondering if you've measured any others?
Also, I found the most accurate way to measure was to measure by putting the tab of the measuring tape into the grove along the bottom of the hub cap - makes for a perfect, accurate index point, and measuring to the lip of fender. Then I subtract 1.25" as the hub cap is exactly 2.5" in diameter. This guarantees that you're always measuring from the exact same starting point.
So out of curiosity, can you do this - Take a tape measure out and place the tab in that groove (see pic) and measure to the lip of your fender flare (like pic 2 below, the 22.5" mark), on BOTH sides of your truck (when it is as level as you can get it)? What measurements do you get?
