Can I Use Fabtech 1500 Springs On My Ram 2500?

Will the fabtech springs made for the 1500 work on my 2500 diesel?
If not ill probably get the spacers but I hate to do that cause they will sag overtime and my springs are completely shot so I might as well get em in one shot.

They won't work. The Cummins is too heavy. If you use them it might actually be lower in the end. lol...

Check this

How much lift are you looking for and is your truck 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive? It makes a BIG difference. If your have a 4x4 i can help you out, and since you live close I can probably help you out a lot. Let me know. Plus how much lift do you want and what size of tires do you want to run??

The problem is that no one can tell me what the stock spring height is suppose to be. Its a dealer only item and the dealer has no idea.

Sorry, but being a two wheel drive you are VERY limited on options. i would check out the coil spring web site. If you're looking for a spring measurement you might be able to get an accurate measurement if you jack your truck up and let the spring go to full extension and then add about two inches to that and that will be extremely close to your stock spring length. If i find out something more I will give you a shout.

I called the coil spring people and they want the part number for the left and the right side. Im going to go to the dealership and get those numbers for my truck. Hopefully they can add 2 inches to whatever they find.

Im afraid that after 170k and ORIGINAL shocks ... that my springs have bit the dust and I dont trust measuring the stock height

Don at Thuren Fabrication told me he can get springs custom height for the diesels which work with his King shocks and track bar. Give him a call.
