Anyone know if you can take leaf springs off a 3rd gen 2500 and put them on a 3rd gen 1500? Same eye to eye or no? Just wondering for the extra weight capacity..

 

cheaper to get a set of bags . and no they wont work they are wider and wont mount up to the housing .

 

it would only work with major fabrication (lots of grinding and welding new brackets).

 

Agree with RH (for once) you can get into a set of bags for around $200 if you don't opt for the onboard compressor and will make a 100% difference...

 

The 2500 springs are wider than the 1500 (2 1/2 in) ones so won't mount. You can buy a set of HD springs for 1500, which is 4 plus 1 leaf vice 3 plus one leaf. They are good for approx 2050 lb load vice 1750. I have priced these and they are about 350 USD a spring. Not sure but they will also give an inch or two lift. I plan to install them on my truck. Already have the longer U-Bolts frequired rom Perf. Lifts and believe the spring part # is HD3145. For USA I got a quote from Stengal Bro. I plan to get them at my local spring shop for $800 Cdn a pair (come with bushings in place). Skyjacker softride is another option too.

 

Hellwig LP-2500 Kit and be done with it!!

 

Im going with a type of helper spring like the hellwigs, instead of 2500lbs, they're 2300, so i think they'll do fine.. I appreciate the quick replys guys.
