What is the difference in an Offroad Edition Ram and a regular 4×4?
The Offroad Edition was only produced for a couple of years, before Dodge went to the new body style. The only differences between Offroads and regular 4x4s are: 4.10 gears and a rear trac-lock Heavy duty towing package which includes a transmission cooler 1.5 inch lift, plus larger 32 inch tires, giving 1.75 inches more lift 17×8 aluminum 5 spoke wheels and 275 GSA’s (32 inch tires) Extra skid plates Trussing on front Dana 44 axle Larger (not longer) nitrogen shocks Badge on tailgate These are the only differences. If you try to order suspension parts, some places will even tell you that their lift does not fit an Offroad Edition. That is not true. It will fit, but you wont gain as much lift as you would on a regular 4×4. A 5 inch lift is the same on either truck because when you do a suspension lift, you cancel out what makes the Offroads taller (stiffer coils and one extra leaf in the leaf pack).
