height

OK....some of the pics i've seen on this board are exactly what I am afraid of...Front end height> Does the front end really sit that low in comparison to the rear?...Tire size...I know those are 18's but don't they still look small? (especially on the rear??) is it an optical illusion or what?...does the rear fender curve higher than the front?...does anyone else think a nice black plastic inner wheel well cover would be well placed in the rear wheel well?....Also, I know the spec book says all the 4x4's sit at the same height but can anyone who has actually seen the FX4 and the Lariat 4x4 side by side (both SCrews) tell me if they sit at the same height?

I'm really concerned about front to rear height ratio...I think thats one of the worst looks for a car or truck. I've ordered a Lariat SCrew 4x4, instead of the FX4....not that I really needed all that fancy stuff...but I'm sure as u all know with "A" plan the more ya spend the bigger the discount....so it actually worked out to be about the same price as an FX4 optioned out...but with the Lariat I get just a FEW more little gadgets. But now I'm worderin if i should have just went ahead and got that FX4???.....

My 4x4 Lariat supercab does sit nose down, but it does not seem nearly as noticable as in the early pictures I saw. As far as height compared to the FX4, I can't say for sure but if its not identical, I'll bet it's close. I did park next to a new Ram 1500 4x4 and my bed was an inch or two higher! Then I came back to my truck and it was keyed.

The trucks that I have seen the cab height is about 2 inches shorter than my 2002 Screw but the bed rail height is a bit taller because they the beds in the new '04s are a few inches deeper than past models. To me it does seem out of proportion.
