FX4 height difference?

I didn’t order the FX4 package on my 2020 but just stopped at a dealer to see if they had any 2020s in, which they didn’t. While looking over the lot I noticed non FX4s sat almost 3” lower than those with the FX4 pkg. I know they have a little stiffer shock but does it really make that much of a height difference? I checked stickers to make sure there wasn’t a snowplow or HD pkg or anything else that would make a difference, and the difference I noticed was in the bed portion of the truck. I may have to reconsider adding FX4 if there really is that difference the look was much better setting up a little. Thanks for any help!

there is no lift on the FX4 package. there is about 3" height difference between 2wd and 4wd though.

The 350's have an extra leaf so they will be taller in the rear than the 250's.

There is no difference in shocks. The FX4 is a sticker, skid plate and button option. It also requires E Locker selection on SRW. The skid plates are available separately.

Ok I’m guessing they actually had a few 4x2 and I just didn’t notice. Pretty surprised, it’s got to be tough to move a $75k 4x2!

That was the true for the previous gens, but the specs actually show the 17-19 250's as being taller than the 350's, by a very small amount.
