Could anyone tell me what size rear springs are on my 2500?

mine is an 01.5 its gvwr is 8800 no over loads or sway bar with 3 inch springs. What i was told when i bought it and asked about the swaybar and helper springs is that the late 01's, with the all wheel disk brakes(01.5) and the 02's didn't have them on the 2500.

Gee, I'd sure like to have the softer springs on my ride. The Camper pkg with the shortbed is a brutal combo for ride quality.

You must be lying, all these other guys who don't own your truck know the real truth


I have an 02, it has 3" springs, no overloads, no camper package and is 8800gvw...but I must be wrong, its not like I own it or anything.

Then they must have changed the springs they used for the 01's or in the 01 model year.
I don't mean to come across as a d#$k- I know tons about the 94-97 trucks and varying less about the later 2nd gens. I Do have access to many FSM's and dealer lit (Comes with the job) for most vehicles from the beginning through current, but I can only read and remember so much, especially when I have less and less interest in the later models.


*EDIT** Alright, you got me interested- Dodge discontinued the light 3/4 ton models (the 7500GVWR) in the 1997 model year. So all 2500's from 1998 up are 8800's. Hence the confusion - and something DID change- they dropped the light spring package, which would mean the 2500's from then up should all use 3 inch springs.
