It just so hard to buy the FW and THEN find out it does or doesn't do the job. I understand the 3500 is a leaf spring vs 2500 coil spring but ut seems like a gamble I may take. Thanks for the advice.
It's not a gamble, the stock RAWR on your truck is only 500 lbs lower than a same year 3500. The axle, brakes, etc. are all identical, the only difference is the suspension. With bags or timbrens your truck is the same as a same year 3500 in the real world, I'd just keep it under 7000 lbs. Or 6500 if you leave the rear end stock. I wouldn't sweat your proposed setup at all, just make sure your truck is adequately registered in your home state and go for it.
