1500HD vs 1500 Suspension for putting back to stock
I've researched and googled but keep coming up empty.
I have a 2wd LS 01 1500HD.
I want to lift it using lift spindles but do I use the regular 1500 spindles or try to find 2500hd spindles? I also need to replace the shackles because they put on those adjustable lowering shackles. So which truck do I get stock shackles from?
Like I said I've searched and searched but can't get an accurate answer. No one focuses on the front suspension but only the rear axle itself. So if anyone can guide me in the right direction it would be awesome.

You need the heavy duty spindles and not the regular spindles.

All the regular half ton trucks have 6 lug wheels and 3 bolt wheel bearing.

Parts for a 2500HD or 3500HD for that matter suspension, hub and brake wise in the front are all identical to your 1500HD. So buy appropriate parts which aren't for any non HD 1500 series truck.
