Only difference in my year truck between 3/4HD and 1 ton is a spring and tire sizing. Installed the spring packs and the tires. But don't announce this on RV.net oooopps! The purists will throw the door sticker in my face.
Oh, my year they didn't offer a 3500 SRW.
If he's buying a truck why not just buy what you need rather than buying substandard and trying to upgrade?
The cost difference between a 3/4ton and a 1ton SRW is negligible.
Well, I did something similar to this due to price. I was looking for a used 350, but found a 250 that I wound up getting for rougly $4k under book value that had everything I wanted but the 350 badges and extra spring. And I mean everything! For about $650 I added the extra custom long leafs (1200#ea) and HD shocks. My door sticker advised a payload of 2880# from the factory and I figure conservatively I'm now around 3800# payload. Everything else underneath the truck is the same as a 350. So....sometimes the price difference is negligible FWIW.
