OK, I do not want to start anything,but it has been my observation tha Ford & GM upgrade their ½ ton pick ups to have their 2500/250 models, and there are concerns about overloading them. Dodge on the other hand takes their 3500 trucks and "downgrades them" to get their 2500 models. My 2500 has the same engine, transmission, rear end, frame and brakes as the 3500 in that model year. The difference is the wheels and tires. Check their capacities and you should be ok. Upgrade if necessary , and if you still need to add an extra leaf or two in your rear, (I.e. 3500 spring package). 1800 lbs. pin weight should be no problem. Good Luck!
