If it did fit I would be way to heavy for the IFS front to handle it so if I were you I would look for something trimmer.

Crank the bars up and i think you should be fine weight wise.. Only 250-300lb. I just got one for my 96 1500 4x4.

Your 1500 would handle the weight...many guys hang plows off them. The frames are different between the 1500's and 2500's unless it is for a 1500 MC.

No I just want to know if it's a direct bolt on or do I have to modify anything. I am not worry about how heavy it is and my truck has a leveling kit so I think the hight is not a factor

It is not a direct bolt-on. Mounts will need to be modified.
