2006 Suspension

I was looking at a few trucks and was told the 2006 dodge cummins mega cab was a change in suspension for that year . Is this correct ?
Good or Bad ?

Thanks

what change is what I would like to know. 03-09 are the same, 2010-newer they made slight changes.

I was told they did something with the coil over suspension and also possibly frame bracing ?

That person could've been referring to the 1500 mega cabs. Since 02, 1500s have had IFS. When they brought out the 1500 mega cab, the suspension resembles a 2500. I'm actually not sure what the difference is. I've been tricked several times by the ones rolling around here.

and if you look close, the 1500 megacabs have 8 lug wheels
