Default Got a set of Diesel coil springs for my 1500 but..

They're off a 3500 dually, will they be different than ones off a single wheel 3500?

Turns out they came from a 360 2500, sure hope it will give it some lift.

I just need 1.5 to 2 inches of lift to add the much needed extra touch to my lift.

It works out fine. My broher has an 02 2500 cummins he lifted so I put his stock coils on my 1500. It matched right up and didn't take long. I also left my 3 in spacers on as well. Gave me about another inch and a half. All I needed to change was the track bar drop bracket. I got one for a five inch lift and it worked out perfect. The truck doesn't even sag with a plow.
