Now for body height, measured at the base of the door sill on the same 2019 Ram 1500 above it is 8.7 inches as the "normal". The air suspension does this to that measurement...
"* Normal Ride Height (NRH): 8.7 inches of clearance (measured from the base of the door sill) is the
default, load-leveled ride height
* Aero Mode: Lowers the vehicle 0.6 inches from NRH. Aero Mode improves fuel efficiency by up to one
percent and is activated by vehicle speed, adjusting for optimal performance and fuel economy
* Off-road 1: Lifts the vehicle 1.2 inches from NRH, reaching 9.1 inches of ground clearance, helping to
clear obstacles
* Off-road 2: Delivers more off-road capability, increasing ground clearance by 2 inches over NRH to 10.1
inches
* Park Mode: Lowers the vehicle 2 inches from NRH for easy entry/exit and cargo loading

Using the stated measurement of “8.7 inches of clearance to the base of the door sill” that would mean that the other 4 settings, measured in the same manner would be:
Park Mode (elsewhere known as Entry/Exit Mode): 6.7 inches.
Aero Mode: 8.1 inches.
Off-road 1: 9.7 inches, and not the 9.1 inches shown. (Or maybe 9.9 inches if you want to use the number "1.2").
Off-road 2: 10.7 inches, and not the 10.1 inches shown. (Or maybe 10.9 inches)."
