if you do get stuck with it throw some airbags on the 2500. If its leaf sprung swap them for 3500 springs. Given that it has the same rear end as a 1ton SRW truck, if it has the smaller varient rear no go as that axel is your limiting factor. If its a coil sprung rear forget about the above. $1000k fix vs $60,000 fix...the choice is yours

Given rear leafs and same rear as a 1ton the only difference between 2500 and 3500 is rear leafs, a badge that says 3500 and a stupid sticker on the door mandated by the Guberment.

Prove me wrong...

Weight Police remember real trucks are built not bought every day by builders and fabricators, air ride suspension, stretched frames you name it...everyday.

But the silly little yellow sticker says.... ?? ?? ??

Exactly..what good is it if I put 1 ton springs. That sticker means absolutely nothing.

They also put reccomended tire pressure...which is useless as tire mfg have specific load/inflation tables.

Useless iformation for the ill informed.
