Odds are, you need new spring bushings anyway.

He will need to find a set of 3/4 ton springs out of a 94-95 2500, the newer trucks have 3" wide spring that will NOT bolt right in. 1/2 T springs are only 2.5" wide. Go for a set of Air bags for the back they don't mess with the ride.

^^ My '95 2500 has 3" wide leafs. Are you talking about the light duty 2500's?

All 1st gens have 2.5" wide leafs including the 3/4 and 1 tons if you wanna explore that option.
