    DRW to SRW Swap: Options for the Rear End

    I’d also have to add an adapter to the rear to go from 8x200 to 8x6.5 front spacing or see if one of the companies can do a pair in 8x200. I think the spacer may be the best option. If anyone sees a decent 5th Gen SRW Rear end out in the wild available please let me know! Thanks again!

    DRW to SRW Swap: Options for the Rear End

    Yes I know this is rare, however I'm going to be using my '23 in a more daily capacity than towing, which I no longer have a need for. I scored a swap for a new 2024 SRW 8' Bed to exchange for my DRW Bed, so now I just need to work on the 1.5" difference (per side for 3” total deference) in axle...

    ‘23 3500 Dually Crew w/Aisin- Carli 3.25 - Unexpected Results

    No I think that’s what it is. I lost almost an entire inch. Also the long bed crew cab wheel base also contributes. The front weight it sitting 1.5-2’ further from the rear wheel and that adds a higher force on the front axle. Just physics. So crew cab long bed with Aisin and HO- Yup there’s...

    ‘23 3500 Dually Crew w/Aisin- Carli 3.25 - Unexpected Results

    That’s exactly what happened with me. They need to engineer a new 3.25” coil for the 2023s. I think the engine or front end is heavier and for sure the overload spring is 1.5” higher than the 2022.

    ‘23 3500 Dually Crew w/Aisin- Carli 3.25 - Unexpected Results

    Okay she’s done…. It’s been a journey. Here’s the deets you all need to know: 1. 2023 Dually Crew has new higher overloads. 1” block all that is needed to level. Not 2”. The Carli Full leaf pack will level it as well 2. The Crew Dually differs from the SRW 6.5’ bed. The 3.25” coil only...

    ‘23 3500 Dually Crew w/Aisin- Carli 3.25 - Unexpected Results

    I just had my 3.25 commuter installed on my 2023 3500 Dually w/Aisin (Crew/4wd). Went with a 2” block in the back in lieu of the progressive add a pack (can’t do it with the Dually they said) or the full leaf. 2” should have leveled the truck. After taking the before/after measurements I...

    BDS 3” 19+ 3500 Lift - Pics and Reviews?

    And latest update..Cancelled the BDS order and ordered the Carli 3.25. When I pushed BDS they wouldn’t tell me what’s changed and just would give me “we won’t support the kit installed on a 2023”. Well then stop advertising it as a 2019+ and start advertising it as a 2019-2022 then. Really...

    Anyone know where I can find out what changes were made to the 2023 model year of the 3500 in terms of suspension, etc. BDS says some changes were made however cant find the info anywhere?

    BDS 3” 19+ 3500 Lift - Pics and Reviews?

    Thanks man. Truck looks great. Out of curiosity did you have the Snowplow Prep option on the truck previously and do you remember what the rake difference was (dif between rear and front) before installing the Carli? Is yours a 4th Gen? On my ‘23 DRW I don’t have the snowplow prep (more robust...

    BDS 3” 19+ 3500 Lift - Pics and Reviews?

    Waiting on my 3” Radius Arm kit to arrive from BDS. Has the 2” block for the rear. It’s a 2023 3500 DRW 4wd Cummins. Putting 37s under it. Truck doesn’t have Snow Plow Prep coils stock so it sits a bit lower in front. I’m curious if a 1” block will be all I’ll need after all. Was going to...

    5500 Brakes on a 3500 DRW

    Just got a quote from Performance Trailer Braking for the three axles. Probably what I’m going to do first. Yes, the exhaust brake combined with downshift is just magic 90% of the time. Where the rubber meets the road is quick stopping and hitting that short yellow close in. Also a downside...

    5500 Brakes on a 3500 DRW

    Thanks guys. That answers that. Any recommendations on an aftermarket upgrade then that may significantly improve performance? I’m seriously contemplating trading the 20 3500 for a 5500CC with a CM color matched hauler bed while the getting is good for 3500 demand. Sent from my iPhone using...

    5500 Brakes on a 3500 DRW

    If I put a 19.5” wheel and tire (5500 similar) on the 3500DRW would it give me the clearance and diameter to put the 5500 brake rotors and equip on the 3500? I’d like to be able to benefit from the stopping capability of the 5500 on the 3500 I’m going to the 19.5 wheel and tire combo for the...

    5500 Brakes on a 3500 DRW

    I’m thinking of putting 19.5” rims and Higher load range tires (5500 Continentals) on the 2020 DRW. My question is, if I do, would it then give me the clearance to put the larger diameter rotors and 5500 Brakes on as well? Towing a 19k 5Th Wheel and would love to benefit from the 5500s stopping...

I’m trying to find the part# for it and for some reason for a 2020 the only trim level available is the Laramie Longhorn. It’s #15 on the diagram. No other trim levels available (I have Tradesman) but are for other...
