2500 axles into a 1500
i have a 96 ram 1500 and now i received a 97 2500 that needs computer and other issues i am wanting to put in the front and rear end out of the 2500 into mine i am wondering what will i have to do as far as modifications? is it a bolt in deal or do i need to do some fabricating? also is there any other parts that i should switch over for strength are the transfer cases the same?
what are the differences between the 2500 and 1500?
thanx in advance

the 2500 axle should bolt right up. its got basically all the same components.
On thing that may need attention is the drive shaft length. it is a bigger and i believe longer drive shaft so you may need to get it shortened.
The other thing is the rear leaf springs, almost all of the 2500 came with 3 inch wide springs instead of 2.5 so you could use the leafs off of the truck and get new shackles or you could get new leaf spring perches and use your 2.5 inch wide ones
