Ive tried looking into it but couldn't find any info on it.
I have a 1500 with a 7.5 fisher plow on it and i get some sag in the front end when i have it on and i was wondering if 2500 torsion bars would swap into the 1500 to stiffen up the front end and hold the plow better. Might not even be possible but wasnt sure. Sorry haha

I bought a GSA auction gov snowplow K2500. I checked all the RPO codes a long time ago. My truck has HD torsion bars but I can't remember the code. If you research an applicable RPO chart maybe it will list HD bars. I'd look on car-part.com sometimes they note special equipment RPO coded items in boneyards.

2000 K2500 RCLB with 3500 axles, Hummer rims and 315 70R17s (poor mans project)
