When I ordered my new truck I needed a regular cab with an 8' bed. I would have ordered a 3500 srw but Dodge decided not to make one available in that configuration so I was forced to get the 2500. I use my truck for landscaping so I installed a 700 pound dump insert. The problem is the payload for the truck is only like 2400 pounds so minus the 700 pounds that only leaves me 1700 pounds of available payload.
What I am wondering is if the 3500 springs are the same springs as mine with the overloads or do I need to get the complete spring assembly. I know if it is just a matter of adding overloads I will need different U-Bolts and associated hardware. If anyone has made this switch or have any info I would be very appreciative.
For the record I have the HO/48re combo so I have the 11. 5 rearend.
Also, my above payload numbers may be off by a couple of hundred pounds so don't hold me to them.
