Not a 4x4 guy but as far as I know they will, I think the CTD 2500 springs will actually raise the front end on a 1500. If you are debating purchasing these springs you might wait for a definite answer. Welcome to the forum.

No, I don't believe so. 1/2 ton springs are 2.5" wide, and 3/4 ton springs are 3" wide. I guess you could modify your shackles and axle parches to get them in, but whats the point? Anyway, thats my .02

Yes CTD 2500 front coil springs will work on a 1500. The rear leafs don't swap though. The 3/4 springs should give about 1.5" of lift.

yes the fronts will, no the rears wont...

here is a chart for the fronts...I did this mod with springs out of the wrecking yard and got 2.5" of lift in the front.
