Need advise.
Okay here it goes...
My truck: 94 Ram 1500 5inch lift 35's 4:10s 318.
Parts truck: 00 Ram 1500 8inch suspension and 3inch body lift 39's ?gears no motor.
I got this parts truck for free, it was sitting in a field for years, and buddy I got it from knew nothing about it just wanted it gone off his property. I did some reserach trying to figure out which lift it was cause no where on the lift were numbers or nothing. I couldn't find anywhere that had 8inch lift kits for 1500 only 2500/3500 (from what I could find) So I looked at the truck some more and the front axle assembly looked bigger than mine, makes me think it's from a 2500
#41367 182 9 Is it from a 2500? What diff is this??!!!?
I've already swapped the axel from the 2000 into my 94, I used all the steering components from the 2000 I knew that the ball joints were bad and planned on fixing them later on, so I took the truck for a little test drive once I was finished and of course it had MAD death wobble which I knew would happen I took it to the local 4x4 shop anyway and they said that my axel assembly was angled to far forward and told me that a long arm kit would fix that and I need dual steering stabilizers. Which isn't a big deal unless you don't know what diff your using lol... My poor truck has been sitting for a couple months now and it makes me angry lol. I just want to drive it again. I hope I didn't make a mistake on putting 2000 diff assembly in 94 truck.
Can anyone give me some tips or ideas??? Please
Thanks!!!!!

Lol okay well I sholda known how to do that... it's 5. Okay so what's confusing me is the coils and where the coils sit in are HUGE compared to my 94 diff assembly which is why I didn't use it in the first place. Is that just cause it's a differen't year? I thought 1500 springs were all made the same size...??
