Default Leveling my Truck

I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 V8. I want to level my truck really bad but I'm not sure on what to do. My brother has a 1500 and he used Cummins coil springs to level his truck because there bigger then the 1500 coils. Now I have a 2500 and i don't know if the Cummins coils will level my truck because the Cummins are 2500's and 3500's. I was also planning on doing instead the Hell Bent Steel 2.5 inch coil spacers but don't know if I should or if the coil springs will even level my truck.

The Cummins engine is a lot heavier than the gas engine, and the diesel springs are designed to compensate for the added weight. A 3/4 ton truck isn't the smoothest riding vehicle to begin with, so I'm figuring the diesel springs will make it worse. If you're happy with the ride otherwise, I'd go with the Hell Bent Steel spacers. I used a set of their 1.5" spacers on my 1500 for a while, and was very pleased with them.

And at least with the 2.5" spacers, you know exactly how much lift you'll be getting; with the diesel springs, you won't know how much lift you get until they're installed.
