2008 ride height

Hey guys, I'm curious about the ride height on most 2008 f-250s.
I have a stock 250 4X4 but it came stock with 20" wheels. I pull up next to other 2008 4X4's and I'm always 3-4" taller than them (unless they have a lift of course). What I can't tell is if those other trucks have 20" wheels or not.
My tires on my 20's measure 34" tall. So what gives? Are the trucks that comes with 20's lifted? Or is my ride height just a result of 20" wheels?

btw-
I'm thinking of getting some black teflon coated wheels for my truck too - these stock 20" wheels worth anything usually???

I only got $1100 for my stock 20" wheels and a/t tires. I have heard you can get more off of ebay but this guy met me close to my house and payed cash so I let them go.

As for riding higher I think the 17" wheels come with the same size tires just smaller rims.

suspension

Does your truck have the additional leaf spring on the rear axle? Mine doesn't. It sits lower at the bed height than other 08 F250's I've seen. Also, I do have a toolbox and 5th wheel hitch in mine too.

I don't know. How many leafs should I have? My truck sits pretty level almost as if there is a leveling kit on it or something. I have a gooseneck hitch in mine - no toolbox.

If you have the camper package...most the trucks with overload and the rear sway bar are camper pak trucks....then you have different front springs...and your truck will sit pretty level.

Mine stock was only about 1/2" lower in the front than the rear.
