2500vs3500

Is the overload spring the only difference in the 3500 srw and the 3500 srw?

The 3500 srw gets the 11. 5" rear axle and the larger rear calipers, regardless of transmission.

And don't forget the cab lights! Their part of the 3500 package as well and make the whole thing just come together.

I ordered a 2500 HO 48RE. Now I know this combo gives me the 11. 5" rearend but will I also get the bigger rear brakes as well.

I believe the larger rear caliper pistons are on the 3500 only.

I got curious so I looked on my sticker and it lists the 11. 5 rear under the 6-speed transmission option (only man transmission with HO) which is 400 dollars. When I was looking on lots, I don't remember seeing any 10. 5 rears on anything but Hemis and V10s.

I even remember looking at a couple of stickers on SO autos and they also had 11. 5s. A friend of mine has the same truck as mine with the exception of LWB and his has the 11. 5. They are both 2500s. As to the larger caliper, I don't know. I'm pretty sure the rotor dia is the same. But I can tell you this. Either way those brakes are huge!
