3/4 ton springs are 3 inch compared to the 2.5 inch half tonners, you'd have to change hangers and shackles, but the front coils will work

 

Welcome to DF.

hirschy

 

thanks

so your telling me that i cant run 2500 springs,but i can run 2500 shocks,and leafs right?

 

no, the front coils will fit just fine and actually using V10 or diesel coils is a junkyard cheap way to gain some lift, but the rear leaves will not fit unless you change shackles and hangers, shocks, i have no clue, the front's should work just fine, but the rear i have no clue

 

well then..thanks for the info..

looks like im just gonna have do use 1/2 ton leaf's and 3/4 ton shocks and springs up front..

i dont see why the rear shocks would be different cause all your doing is lifting the truck just like your are up front..

but i understand why the leafs would have to be different cause the heavier duty the leafs the longer they are..makes sense to me..

thing thats gonna be fun is im going to have to order new bolts for em all..even the bolts that hold on that triangular thing that attaches to the frame and the top of the front shocks..cause none of the bolts look like there gonna come off easy..either there gonna snap and fall off or there not gonna come off period and id rather be safe than sorry

i appreciate the help man

 

the rear shocks i don't know about b/c the axles are completely different, the fronts are both dana (44/60, for the half and 3/4 ton, respectavily)

 

well i guess will have to just wait till the time comes to tell wether or not i can run 2500 shocks on the rear..

thanks

btw..i wish i had cab lights LOL

 

they were like 20 bucks at advanced, and real easy to wire, obviously i didn't follow the dodge pattern, instead i went with the older chevy look

 

its not the wiring that would give me the head ache..id have problems with the whole cutting and drilling holes in my roof

i like the chevy style on your truck..that was the first thing i noticed..
