Hello,

is there a difference in the boxed front end of the 3 chassis caps types? I would guess a 19500lbs ram 5500 needs a beefier front end compared to a 3500?

And how does the upfitter-friendly rear end differ? Since the dimensions should probably be the same, i guess it's just thicker in metal?


thank you and greetings!

I have a 4500 and a 5500. They are identical other than badging. I can’t speak for a 3500 though....

From a what I remember but don’t quote me exactly but the 4500 and 5500 cc are the same minus the number of leaf springs on the rear for payload. If your comparing 3500 to a 4500 then you get the beefier front axle w the wide track front axle, I’m not sure about frames though.
