Hey guys
ive been looking at putting a set of the 2500 coil springs on the front of my 2001 1500. its 2wd but i think it will be cheaper than to just put some coil spacers? someone correct me if im wrong. but i want the front higher than the back to give it the baja loook.

The question is.... are the springs a direct fit? can i just take out my old springs and put the new ones in. i would think i need an alignment but should everything bolt rght in with out major modifications?

 

If they are both the same diameter, you should be fine. Please adjust your headlights after achieving your desired stance.

 

Is the 2500 gas or diesel? And was it 2wd or 4wd?

 

im going to be buyin them off of craigslist or going to a junkyard. should i be looking at a set of 2wd gas stewie?

 

I was just wondering what the truck was they are coming off of.

A member here had some 4x4 Diesel coil's that I wanted to buy for the same reasons, to level the front end. It was advised that it may not work, and I didn't wanna be a guinea pig and find out.

 

I know with the 4wd the coils all swap out, I have 3500 diesel coils on my 1500. I would ASSUME it would be the same deal as long as the donor truck is a 2wd, but I could be wrong

 

2wd springs will all interchange (except maybe the solid front axle springs). You'll get like 3/4" from gas springs and at least 2" lift from V10/diesel springs (the ride will be terrible).

I have a set of diesel springs for sale, they made the ride too harsh. I bought them new off RockAuto on a clearance special for $45. Don't let a junkyard rip you off!

 

They made your ride rougher? I honestly could not tell a difference in ride when i did mine, but mine where used so maybe that made a difference?

 

They made the ride incredibly bad. I also needed to buy the 8800# GVWR shocks because the standard shocks wouldn't dampen the springs (ie. my truck would bounce).

I live in AZ so anytime off road is primarily on rock so maybe I had more occasion to notice the ride difference. Maybe the 4x4 springs are more progressive too.

 

Doubt it. They are just designed to have more travel than the lower sitting 4x2's, so they don't need to be *quite* as stiff.
