I tried too go cheap and just had my springs Re-Arched on both my 1028 and my 1009, I now have new springs on my 28 and will do new springs on my 1009 this summer when my shop is done. Many folks on here told me not to do what I did and just bite the bullet and buy new..... But did I...
I have only hauled my ATV with tracks so I have not really loaded anything heavy in it. For C rated tires they do just fine for what I do with the truck.
My truck has 4" Tuff Country in the rear and Skyjacker 4" with 1" ORD Zero rates up front, and Q78,16 Swampers. If I was to do it again I would have ordered the Tuff Country HD 4" springs for the front instead of the Skyjacker springs.
I dont remember how many miles I would get out of these tires back on my old truck. The front diff is all Dana 60 and the truck has the original 4.56 gears.

These guys seem to make them. Actually they are a supplier for Pioneer Auto Inc.

Length and weight for the DuraMax are less than the 6bt so I dont think those would be the biggest obstackles for the DMax swap, I think the electronics and the Allison fitting in the truck would be the biggest problems.
