What's it take to make a 2500 a 1500?
okay guys, after many arguments and disappointments I finally bought the 1999 2500, 2wd, SWB, crew cab.
I want to lower it 4/6 and change it over to 5 lug. Besides a flip kit, drop spindles, and lowering springs(don't know if I can cut them) what else do I need to do to make it a 5 lug? I know there is a light duty and a heavy duty on some of the front end parts such as ball joints and upper control arms 7200 GVW or 8600 GVW

wow, I wasn't getting any answers in the 88-98 area. I assumed it was traffic, but maybe nobody knows, which I find hard to believe.

Why do you want to change it to 5 lug? What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
