Looking at getting a leveling kit for my truck, and every place that sells them bundles all 3rd gen years together. My buddy said he tried putting a leveling kit on an 08 that was from an 04, both 2500s, and said the bolt pattern was different on 08 trucks than the previous years. I just want to make sure that the pattern is in fact the same so I don't buy something and have to return it. All help is appreciated

Is yours a 2500? My 2007 MegaCan was and the Tuff Country 32900 fit it just fine.

Yes its a 2500, but supposedly they changed the bolt pattern in 08 according to my buddy, and he is someone I would trust on a matter like this

Almost everything else on the 2006 - 2008 trucks is the same so I'm wondering what they changed.

Might be a stretch, is it at all possible his ‘08 was a late year manufacture and his pattern was “actually” a ‘09?? Just a thought

Its completely possible, I just don't see how when all of the leveling kits I was looking at online said 03-09 2500/3500 and some even said 94-13

That is weird. The 2003 to 2013 should all be the same. The didn't change the design until 2014 when they went to the Radius arms.

When you say 'bolt pattern' - what exactly are you talking about? Shock towers??

Yes, the three bolts on the shock tower above the coil
