Default Leaf Swap

Can leaf packs form a 2000 Ram3500 be a direct bolt in to my Ram 2500? I am just looking for a bit less rear sag when my 31' Fifth wheel is on, I have access to 1 ton parts. Also do newer year ones fit?

Yes it should be a direct fit so long as you have 3 inch wide springs on your 99. I am planning on doing a leaf swap from a 99 1 ton with overloads into my 98 2500, it even has the holes drilled in the frame for the overload stop brackets.

I was able to swap 2001 2500 leaf springs into my 97 3500. truck rides much nicer empty and actually sits about an inch lower.
