Well I bet my 2003 Ram 2wd with it's lower front "rake" didn't have more ground clearance than a 4wd, but it had enough. The 4wd had to be higher in the front or it would have been a problem aera offroad with a couple of really low points. So now if the 2019 Ram has more ground clearance on the 2wd it is just because they jacked it to be more level with the rear to look like a 4wd but because it doesn't have those 4wd bits hanging low it has more ground clearance. The solid axle rear on both trucks is the same. The ground clearance is just a matter of tire diameter, the body can be raised or lowered over a huge range there and not change that a bit.
