Flip kit on C3500

[618 Syndicate]

I’ll look it up at work Tuesday to be sure. I work at GM maybe I’ll run the vin. This dually maybe the 3500hd.

It's not the 3500 HD, those look completely different. It may have the 6.5 HD, but the literature doesn't distinguish between them for tow rating.
Regardless, if you're gonna bag yours all that **** is going in the scrap pile anyway!

I think I know what you're talking about. A setup similar to this?

This is right. When flip kits are installed this top leaf, the spacer block under it and the bump stop
Brackets are all removed.

thanks TonyM, how much payload does this cut down? its no longer a 1 ton I'm guessing.

It shouldn't take any functionality away if you have helpers. We've had the notch strength discussion in another one of your threads I believe.

Just to add to this, my rclb with 5.7 has the extra leafs on top like that. I'm thinking all 3500s came like that, but could be wrong. I'd be curious to hear from the single rear wheel 3500 guys, if they have the top leaf set.
@1ton-o-fun @frito-bandito I would think they do.

Oops, double post.

Looks like no extra leaf on top. That's unexpected.

Remember, mine was like (thousands?)
ordered as county road department fleet vehicles. Mine actually spent 272,*** miles as one. Probably not much need for the extra heavy springs. Lots of bigger trucks for that purpose.

That looks like the spring pack in my Burb. And it's a C1500! I know Burbs got an extra leaf over pickups but..... I didn't think the towing package got you 1 ton springs. Maybe that's why it doesn't squat with a load.
