yea, i was aware of the ones sold south of the boarder but my question was if they would ever be available here in the US, i have a 01. 5 3500 now and have no intention of getting rid of it unless a true 1 1/2 or 2 ton version becomes available. on my rig the suspension has been the worst part of it, at about 100k i replaced both front springs and rebuilt the rear spring packs. :{
