Hey gents, been a while since Ive been on here. But I have a 2011 3500 Dually now. It has a 6 inch BDS lift (normal kit, not the coilovers or longarms) with 35's. I'm looking to swap to the 3 inch normal BDS lift while retaining the 35's. The reason is so I can haul a fifth wheel without having to modify it heavily.

Just need to know if there's a major difference between the 6 and 3 inch lift. I'm hoping its just front springs and rear blocks, but wondering if the control arms need to be swapped as well. Would love it if anyone was familiar. Thank you for any help!

I'd upload some pics, but tapatalk on my ohone or this forum keeps stating an error each time I try.

What tires are you running? cant seem to find a 35" that'll fit safely on the stock 17" chromes.

Should just be a matter of springs and blocks being different, slightly longer control arms aren't a bad thing with just a 3".
