Just throw a set of 3/4 ton springs under the front and a 2 inch add a leaf in the back and youll only have 1 inch difference

I was looking into it a little more and I found out that 5x5.5 135mm are for ford and not dodge. My specific year is 5x5.5 139mm but I can buy an adaptor to convert them.

2500 IS a 3/4 ton. 3500 is one ton.

I don't think there is any difference in the front springs between the two though, aside from engine choice.

Just FYI I have a 2001 1500 4x4 with the off road pkg and I'm running 305/70/17's (hard to find and approx $300+ ea.) but they fit fine with no rubbing. strangely I found a tire size chart at tirerack.com that says they are a 34 inch tire. no wonder they are so expensive, that's an odd size.
