Default 1500 vs 2500 springs
Is there any difference in the leaf springs from a 1500 and 2500 or is it just how many springs they use?

I used them on my truck and they lifted the rear 2 inches which was what i was going for. I didnt notice much of a stiffer ride

Did you change all of them or just 1 or 2 leafs? Was it that there are just more springs on the 2500 or are they longer?
