Ok here is my question. I had a 02 with factory overloads but my 05 does not have them. Did they put the overloads on the 05's? If so anybody have the part numbers for them?

 

they put them on 3500's, yes you can buy them but seems most go with air bags instead.

 

My 05 and my 06 came with factory overload springs. I think all 3500 do. If you need more capacity you may want to look at some air bags. I love the Firestone ride rights that I just installed on my dually.

Look up Super Springs, they are much easier to install and can be removed and put on another truck. Takes about 30 min. to install them.

 

You,ll have to install spring perches as well,all 3500 have them,2500,s to my knowledge do not.

 

Another vote for Firestone airbags. I will be getting somee as soon as I get a 5th wheel.

 

This is what I use,it works great on and off road, towing or anything else.

What is an good set of bags run for this animal?

 

03+ 2500 doesn't have overloads, 3500 does...

My dad is considering adding overloads to his 06 2500... He is looking at the factory ones, this way when he is heavy there are 5 point of contact on the frame, vs 3 (he has airbags)... The aftermarket overloads wont add contact points.

 

The price for 03-04 is 249.00 at JC Whitney 1-800-865-4227 or www.jcwhitney.com

 

Had air bags, had factory overload springs. Found out about "Timbrens" on this web site. Best item I have bought for my truck. 2004.5

 

The timbrens are a good product if your always loaded, but the airbags and overloads are passive, which IMHO is better for a DD/Tow rig.

 

Soooooo, that truck has been used offroad? Must not be any dirt in your area or you detail the undercarriage I'm not doubting you it just looks great!

 

LOL! TCR you beat me to it. I was thinking the same thing.

 

Timbrens don't do a thing till you put a load in the bed.
