    I have a 2012 base access cab. I was parked next to a earlier model regular cab 5lug today..it looked like it sat higher? The wheels and tires were of stock aspects. I wasnt about to pull a measuring tape out because the guy was just getting out BUT, i am planning on running a new wheel set up where this would really come into play. Has anyone heard or noticed anything? I looked up changes but i couldnt find anything for new models?

    There was no aftermarket suspension from what i seen either.

    regular cabs are a bit lighter, wear and tear on the suspension of the regular cab. couldn't make that much of a difference though.

    could be the new front end as well. playing tricks on your mind. you never know. suspension and chassis are the same as the older models.
