You most definitely don't want to put a set of 1500 coils in your truck. You will lose your hauling capacity. And may have as well bought a 1500 series truck. Your best bet will probably be to trim a half coil off the top of your springs and see how much that drops your ride height.

I'll bump this thread, as I also am interested in lowering my '15 2500 4x4 Tradesman. It's my farm truck, so I haul hay and the like. Want to get the thing lower for loading drop bales and simply to be easier to get in and out of, too.
So far have not been able to find any lowering springs for the 2500. Kelderman makes a replacement air bag setup that drops normal ride height 2" below stock, and aired out another 3-4" from that. That would work perfect, but it's quite spendy to get there.
Have also been trying to find info on the spring rates for all the coils used on all versions of the 2500, but no joy.
Final thought was on whether 1500 coils will fit the 2500, and that comes up bust when searching, too (I did find several guys who went the other way, but they all had older gen trucks).

No, no you don't.
Lower your pin box. Raise your 5th wheel hitch. Both are far better options.
If you lower your pin box make sure you use new number 8 bolts to remount it so you don't have any accidents on the road.
