old thread, new question, please advice
I just got my 06 drw 3500, was measuring bed height, tailgate height etc. to set up for towing my drag car trailer, dont want to ding up my box like my 01 The 07 is about 1-1 1/2 inches taller than the 01 at the top of the bed rails. The box is 1 inch deeper so the suspension must be very close to the 01 in height. Heres my question, can I take all 3 of the small spacers on the bottom (measures just under 1 1/4") and the 1/2" block between the overloads and the springs and put all 4 on top. Will this have an adverse effect on the overloads performance. I go about #27000 loaded going down the road, I have no idea of the g/n pin weight, I suspect I am on the overloads some of the time. I have read all the threads on here here I could find on this subject and I havnt seen anybody do this or even ask about it. I started the project tonight and did one side, but I figured I better check with you all before I finish the job. I figure I am just dumb enough to overlook the obvious. I dont think its an option to work on the trailer with the type of axles I got, plus it will be a lot of work not to mention make loading the car that much more difficult. Any advice would be greatly apprecated.
