I've heard it's 1" front and back lower then any other model 2wd Dakota. The 255/55/17 tires have a overall diameter of about 28" which is also lower then the 255/65/16 (about 29" diameter)optional on the wheel and tire package. So an R/T's bumbers may sit about 1.5" lower then the 2wd sport with wheel/tire package.

I thought the R/T had 275/55/17 tires?
255/65/16 = 29.1"
275/55/17 = 28.9"
Thats only a .2" difference

Since I have the 235/70/16 setup, I might see
more difference if I went to 245/60/15.

The Durango R/T has a much taller 17" tire (a 275/60/17) then the Dakota R/T. Also a lot of the R/T owners switch to the Nitto 275's as soon as the Goodyears are toast.
