Hello all,
Has anyone upgraded their 3500 rear axle and suspension with that of a 4500 or 5500?
I understand I will have issues if I only try to use the leaf springs out of say, a 5500 because the U-bolts are of a different size. I would also upgrade the rear axle because of the loads I haul.
I regularly haul 4 cars on a 10,000-lb Wally-Mo so I am sometimes grossing 36,000-lbs with a pin weight of 14,000-lbs
