GM pickups, no 2500HD or 3500 Markings????
Am I missing something???? How does one tell if a new GM pickup is a 2500HD or a 3500 SRW?? Or is it that so many people towed over the limits with 2500HD they just removed the badges? Am I not ...

And what do you call it with no springs...? - COOL!!
With no springs and 19.5" wheels/tires, I call it a SRW Heavy Hauler! It has more rear axle capacity than a 3500SRW, but less than a 3500DRW, so it's somewhere in there. It is closer to the DRW in terms of capacity.
Suspension is rated for 12K
Axle is mfg. rated for 10.8K
Rear tires are rated for 9.9K combined
Rear wheels are rated for 9K
Wheels are the lowest #, so that is what I go by.
Stock 2500HD SRW RAWR is 6.2K
Stock 3500HD SRW RAWR is 7K
Stock 3500HD DRW RAWR is 9.3K
Numbers all rounded, obviously.
Fully loaded, we run a little under 7.5K RAW and just under GCVWR. It's way more stable than the springs ever were, even when I was running them well within spec.
