So...... 1500hd= 2500 with def options
2500hd= 3500 with def options

This is it. They make the 1500, 1500hd,2500,2500hd,3500,3500hd. 1500hd and 2500 are the same, 2500hd and 3500 same. And here is the pic of the truck mentioned above http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/2478392577.html

yep the 2500 hd and the 3500 are taller stock vs. 1500hd & 2500 cause of the frame being taller.

Not arguing here.....but the 1500HD that is here don't have the same frame as the 2500 diesel I have.

The 1500hd here, the frame have more or bigger frame cross suports.

The 2500 (not hd) i have, frame is bigger

Both are made in the US.

Just what I ovserbeb from what i have here !

Probably you guys there have tons of more option

My Bad, I was comparing my 900GMT 2500 to my cousin 800GMT 1500HD.

So they are not apples to apples.

Probably the same GMT are same frames, or same truck. Don't know.

To the op, I got my rims from eagle wheels. +25mm offset and they stick out at least 2"

here is a link for the options http://aewheel.com/wheels_detail_specs.cfm?id=448
