2nd Gen Ram Tech1994-2001 Rams: This section is for TECHNICAL discussions only, that involve the 1994 through 2001 Rams. For any non-tech discussions, please direct your attention to the "General discussion/NON-tech" sub sections.
while i know your online whats everything that needs to be 2.5 inch for my 1500 whats everything i need to measure if i got the junkyard and get the leafs and all that nonsense
Only real difference is the rear leaves are 2.5 inch on your 1500, and are 3 inch on the 2500. Need axle, springs, hangars, and driveshafts. (if they are the same body style/bed length. Otherwise, gotta go quasi-custom.
Merc225HP did this swap as well. I think most of his posts on it are in the "what did you do to your ram today" thread. You can click on his username, and in the 'statistics' section, click on "find all posts", and they will be in there somewhere.
Read ham bones thread. LOTS of good info there. (that, and I am going to bed soon. )
dang i need new axles i figured i could just throw some new leaf springs underneath there and call it day cuz i haul trucks and cars with my truck (not legally of course haha) but it gets the job done and im tired of having my suspension crying pretty much everytime i haul something
