What year? I did a 3" Rough Country on mine and its pretty good. The only thing I don't like is that it made my track width wider. You may be able to buy some 2500 spindles instead because I know they have a wider stance up front than the 1500s. I know CST also makes a lift spindle.

Thanks for the help I'll look them up. The truck is a 1999.
I was wondering about the 2500 2x4 trucks. Do they have the same spring set up as a 1500 or do they have torsion bar like the 4x4?

They're a torsion bar style setup. Your best option for a small lift is to run spindles. It's going to affect your ride the least amount.Originally Posted by w.kropf
Why upgrade just the rear springs? And if you're concerned about it raising the rear, there are drop shackles. If you are needing the 2500 springs, it's gonna kill your ride quality, and if you need the springs because of how much weight you're carrying, you're gonna kill your axle, whether using 2500 springs or riding on the bumpstops. I'm currently converting my 1500 truck to a 2500 axle for the extra weight-carrying ability. The 1500s use a semi-floating axle, while the 2500s are full-floating. Lastly, not many 1500s came with 4.10:1 gearing, while most gas-powered 2500s did, so it's an easy way to improve your gearing for a bit better performance.
