gggeeezzz, such a easy question, im suprised no one has answered it for you!
i believe that the r/t is lowered about 1 inch compared to those other two models.
im not sure, but i think the sport and slt have the same ride height...

KotaRT13 is correct, the RT is 1" lower than the Sport & SLT which are only different trim pkg's,
The towing pkg doesn't alter the ride height (I think?)
I have a '98 CC with the towing pkg & my girlfriend has a '01 QC w/o & they were the same height before I lowered the CC.

Now we're getting some place,, I thought it was an easy question too, but I guess not.
Just got the '98 SLT 5.2, it is supposed to have towing pkg. , has a nice hitch, michelen tires, and seems higher other dak's.
I'll put it in the street and measure from ground up to bottom of wheel well at the center of front/back wheels, get the tire size, and then measure again from dead center of the axel/spindle to the bottom of the wheel well, and post the results.
Trying to decide how to lower it, how much, and best way !!!, but not to drastic still want to tow a flats boat..

the best way i can think of to acheive the ride height of an r/t is to get one of these r/t owners to sell you their front coils, if they have lowered their truck, and throw some 1' blocks on the back...
but trust me, if you only lower it that much, more then likely, you'll be wanting more later on, im about to drop my down some...

We all started somewhere, here is the measured height on the '98 Dak-Slt CC 5.2 V8 + Towing package and a topper on the back with no other known suspension mods:
Ft. -> Ground to bottom of fndr. well = 32"
Rr. -> Ground to bottom of fndr. well = 33.5"
Ft.-> Ctr. of axle/spindle to bottom of well = 18.5"
Rr.-> Ctr. of axle/spindle to bottom of well = 20"
Tires -> Michelin 235/75/R15, Diameter = 27.5"
