I'm Awesome
My 1995 1500 has just over 200k miles. It was stock height all its life until last year when I added blocks to rear and cranked the bars. Last year I was running 32" tires with the crank with a plow. No issues with that setup at all! I've since upgraded to 35" tires. I've been running these for months without any clearance issues. However, now that winter is upon us, the plow will be making its way back onto the truck soon. I mounted it up and took a short test drive to see if the added weight caused any clearance issues for the 35's. There appears to be no issue, at least with my short trip.
My question here is this. Few months back, I found someone parting out a light duty 2500. I managed to pick up a few of his parts, including the torsion bars and keys. I don't know if there is any real difference between the 1500 bars and the 2500's, especially since it was a light duty 2500. I know it was light duty because it had the same # of leafs as my truck, otherwise I would have picked up his leafs too and ditched the blocks. So is it worth taking out the 1500 bars and installing the 2500's bars? Are they stiffer than the 1500s?
