I think it has a 55/45 distribution, IIRC.
Based on the 3.92 gear ratio and LSD comment I can say with almost 100% certainty that Ram had the 20" tire option. If so and it still had the OE issue Goodyear Wrangler HP tires that right there is why you lost the rear end in the rain. If the truck had the HEMI with all the extra torque and power you probably would have been looking back where you had come from. Those tires are absolutely miserable even on dry bare pavement! In rain they are scary and in snow they are dangerous( even in 4WD ). 95%+ of Ram owners swap them out ASAP to better tires. Those tires could be put on a tank and they would slip. They STINK!
No, it had 245/70R17.
