1500 leaf spring vs. 2500 leaf spring?

[lance]

My ? is are the 2500 leaf springs wider than the 1500 leaf spring?

I talked to a guy at a spring shop about this exact same thing, same spring, just 3/4 ton has 2 or 3 more leafs. Direct bolt in.

Thanks for the help/info. ..........This is exactly what I was hoping for!!!!

The guy said the truck would ride like a lumber wagon empty but if youre hauling stuff its a good upgrade. Have you thought about air bag helper springs, stock ride quality till you fill the bed with stuff??

No I already have 2500 leaf springs on the back I actually bought the truck that way an yeah it rides like a lumber truck empty lol!!!!! The reason I asked the ? is i'm about to put a 4/6 drop on an my friend said that the flip kit wouldn't work because the leaf springs we thicker so that's why I asked the ?

OOHHHHH OK, I get it.

That's awesome I been waiting months to put this kit on an to put the avs c-notch in. I will be putting everything on this weekend. Whats the best way to put this notch in, I was thinking weld it in then cut out the remaining section that is showing then weld in the bottom piece. Any advice would help lol!! Here's some pics. of the notch already installed an just the notch in these links

1 ton spring's are also the same width, keep in mind one thing though, with the thicker the spring pack you will see more drop with a flip kit, typically a flip on a 3/4 or 1 ton will give you an 8 in. drop or close too it.

out of curiosity, why is that?
