Go with the 1 ton Chassis and Suspension! Well worth it having the thicker frame. Shortened 14" in the wheel base and 4 1/2" at the tail. You Must use a rear cab and bed mount bracket or make your own! Shortened Drive Shaft. You already use it!

Did you notice a difference in ride quality for the better with the swap?

 

[Toolz1978]

Rides like a rock! Going to 1/2 ton leafs and airbags in rear. Probably front torsion bars also. Have only just completed the swap. Still have to install rear bumper and hitch. 6 month project but sent the frame out for sand blasting. Firewall rot repair at lower lip. Body shop took a month on bodywork and paint on the cab. While I was at it I swapped in a Y-block 6.5L diesel from a box truck I had with 27k on the motor and Trans.

Reason I asked is because my dually rides nicer than my 1500 which has 3500 bars and 2500 leaves.

My daily driver is a 94 shortbed stepside with 2500 leafs in rear! Rides much better than the 95 with 3500 bars stock 3500 leafs. The motor in the 94 is the heavier late 70's 350 4 bolt I built with vortec heads and Aftermarket TunePort.
