Same suspension, but it may be tuned differently with or without the Tire &
Handling Package and 1450lb payload vs. 1800lb payload.
Plus, what's inside the truck (tools, ballast, amount of gas in the tank)
could change the height slightly.
Are the tires you're comparing just the same size, or the same make & model
as well? At Foxwoods '01 Josh's '00 looked to be about 1/2 inch lower than
my '99, and we had the same "size" tires on - but mine were BFG and his were
Goodyears. The BFGs ran a little large.
Even with the same make & model, the sizes are nominal. Manufacturing
differences can cause the actual size to vary slightly.
