Look no further than 9900lb gvw 2500s that are no different than a 12000lb gvw 3500 save for the badge on the fender.

So what 9,900 gvw 2500 is exactly the same as a 12k gvw 3500 other than the badge? EXACTLY the same! ????? If that's true why do you have ''Firestone Bags, Big Wig swaybar, homemade stable loads'' on your 2500??

Honestly I think you are being misleading and helping people justify their 250/2500 carrying a 5k truck camper... ''cause you just need to add some better wheels''.......

There is very little difference if any between the SRW 3500 and 2500. Once you go to the DRW 3500, the axle and brakes may be bigger than the SRW's, but the frame is still the same. Spring rates vary based on the options chosen and cannot be assumed to be more for a 3500 over a 2500.

This and I can attest to 03-09 rams. Everything is the same and the addition of an overload was all the difference they had. This might blow your mind...my 2500 has a gvrw of 9000 lbs. Its a joke that a badge and overload spring takes the same truck I have to 10,100. Same axles, brakes, frame.

I'm not current enough nor have I replaced parts in the newer 4th gen trucks but coils in the rear is a pretty large difference but I would be shocked if they used larger brakes, axles and frames on the 3500 series, it doesn't make sense from a manufacturer standpoint!
