Part numbers have been compared and matched part for part.

Before 2013 most 250/2500 were 350/3500 SRW with lighter springs. Both with Camper Packages had the 350/3500 spring packages, but lower GVWR for licensing purposes.
When I dropped our new 5er on our Ram 2500 with Camper package, figured I was good and at about GVWR, as it didn't even engage the overloads. Boy was i wrong! I have no reason to change, truck sits fine, tows fine, stops fine, handles great.
