They must have changed it, because I checked my 05, and his 03. They both say 9000. But the 2'nd gens had the overload spring on the 2500's, which they put on the single axle 3500's now. BTW- do our trucks come with a sway bar?

Looks like he should be ok. He was going to borrow his Uncle's camper, but this one came up, and it looks really good.
