Well back when my 2500 came off the assembly Line, Dodge didn't offer a SRW 3500. That said you could buy a 2500 with Camper Package and the Optional 265/75-16E tires at 3,415# ea., this didn't change the VIN one once! I bought this rig used, at 234,000 miles, at 255,000 I replaced the stock OEM shocks manufactured in 1999! That said I doubt the 1st owner changed the springs any. The Camper Package put 3500 double overload leafs in the spring pack.
So I have only added a set of Bilstein 5100's to the TV.
I think this doesn't look over weight.
These are the roads I actually enjoy driving at the 55 limit or better, if the flow is faster.
This is a video from my Dash Cam, heading home with the 5er in tow.
