Have you given any thought to air ride? I looked into it and found one source for the front end. Just a thought, Mike.

Sounds good to me. If your truck is that heavy AND it makes you money, then it's a good thing to do. Any repairs or additions are probably tax deductable. I'm just playing and replacing the other four trucks my wife says I need to get rid of. It just hurts me to sell anything mopar. packratc

Im fixin to replace my ball joints, control arms, etc so I might as well go ahead and put some 2" spacers in my sagging springs at the same time.
My build sheet says I have a 5500 lb front axle but the only ball joints that come up for 92 d250 are for 3k & 4k axles. Could this be a mistake on the build sheet?
