2500/3500 front coils
sorry i havent been around guys, i have just been biting off more than i can chew lately but i still think about y'all every day!
so my plans are to re-do my suspension by adding 2 leaf springs on each side in the back, and new coils that will hold more weight and level my truck in the front. well the shop by me tells me that since the truck is so new, there is nothing after market for the coils in there books. now i know i have seen a few online but i remember them being expensive. he told me to check the junk yards and see if there is a diffrence in 3/4 ton to the 1 ton trucks and if it was a thinker coil then they could just throw that in. does anyone know if they are the same size?

RE: 2500/3500 front coils
that will be something to look into but after the research i have done i am losing interest in doing this at the moment. i was hoping the shop would have something they can order and just throw it on. i will be ordering my 33' tires in the next week or 2 and i know that the tires will fit on the truck the way it is now so i am going to wait till winter to see how the biggers wheels sit with my plow on and if i need to beef the suspension up then i will do so.
