Does anyone know for sure what the difference between a 2500, and 2500 hd frame is? 01-07

HD vs SD frame
- Thread starter x MadMAX DIESEL
- Start date
IIRC, the frame mounts for the cab/box are higher on the HD frame (the old 2" body lift GM advertised), and the rear section of the frame under the box is taller on the HD frame. Those are the two differences I saw over the years.
Prior to 2001 when the HD was released the 1999 and 2000 2500 2 wheel drive chassis was coil sprung in the front.
Also as lame as it is, you could actually get a 5.3L/4L60E in a 2500...

So I’m assuming that the 14 inch section that differentiates the short vs long bed will be the same on either 2500, or 2500HD?

The front of the seam under the cab, yes. The rear portion from the seam necks down under the bed on the 2500. The HD frame stays the same height all the way to the bumper. That is what Ive seen in the past, but as usual....double check first.
