Default Coilover conversion for 99-07 2500 trucks?

Is there any coil over conversions (besides bds and lsk) for a 2500? Im guessing there is a market out there for it I just can't seem to find many options.

No. Something with the mounts doesn't allow it.

@Atomic is the go-to about this

I don't recommend it, especially if you have a diesel or tow because of the weight over the 1500s and the amount of modifications necessary to get an appropriate size spring in there. At that point the BDS kit is a better deal. Unless you keep the torsion bars (just turned down) and use the coilovers as a helper of sorts for a heavy plow or bunper\winch setup.

There is still a large number with gas engines and they can't weigh that much more than a 1500. I'm just trying to avoid going full custom long travel and just get a better ride
