OP here...Found old posting with numbers.
Is this 2001 Dodge Diesel?
What does front axle weigh (4800 +)??
Bottoming out is weak springs/broken springs.
Yes I'm going to inspect those rubber blocks to see if they have been rubbed or broke even if they are there
I did find actual old numbers. (Memory is going???)
Pick up (2001 Dodge 2500, 5.9 Cummins, 8 foot bed, 2 wheel drive and SWD)
