Does the FX4 sit higher?

I was talking with a buddy and he was telling me the FX4 sits a little higher then the same truck without. Is this true? If so, why? Springs, blocks?

No, it does not sit higher. FX4 gets you (2) decals, (4) average shocks with red boots, and a couple of skidplates. All of the above have no effect on ride height. To increase the ride height you need the HD suspension, the camper package, or the snowplow package.

Thanks for the quick reply. That's what I thought. I have a deposit on a truck (unseen) that has the skid plate option but no fx4 and everything I read I thought I was only missing the decal and some not so great Ranchos. It does have the camper package though. So how much higher will this make one sit? Thanks again

From another thread titled "Camper package":

400lb heavier front springs, rear stabilizer bar, overload springs in the rear and "camper certification"- in your glove box, I believe.
I have the FX4 but not the camper package The camper front springs should be good for an extra inch up front. My last truck had "U" springs in the front, my current truck has "T" springs, and the difference was about an inch. I can tell the difference because I run 305's.
