A 1500HD was a 2500 with 1500 badging. You could ONLY get a crew cab with a 6.5' bed. It was no different suspension wise than my 81, 88, 96 or 2000 SW trucks with 8600 or 9200 gvwr's. My point that you aren't getting to a degree, but just typed it, is the dot class 2b 8400-10000 lb gvwr truck is no more. Your into a class 3 now from an LD for class 2, 6001-8400.
For those of us that had these trucks, they are better setup than yours and my 1500. Cheaper than the class 3 versions available now.
Yes I have to a degree beffed up my 1500, it is doing everything I need it to do. But I could see for a number of us, having an equal to the old 8600-8800 GM, Ford, Dodge basic 25 series truck option in today's market.
