Does anyone know the wheel bolt pattern and the lug nut size on the 01 ? Also has anyone lifted an 01, is it basically the same on a 91 ? I see the front springs are different, they are flared out, would love to put the old style 91 straight struts on this as I'm thinking the tires may rub the spring ? Also, instead of shackles this time around I'm doing an axle under the spring swap. When I weld on the perches, should I tilt the axle up so there is not so much angle on the pinion ? I've also read about moving it forward an inch, so basically re-drill the spring and move the bolt forward I assume ?
44 hits and no one knows, I can't believe I can get more info on my 91 and not the 01, was the 01 that unpopular ?
Not so sure of all this but the o1 is at least 1 generation of development from the 91 & possibly 2 generations, as I don't know the years of change. I have a 2002 Van and mostly use the GA413 manual for reference. It does show that some had a tapered spring and some have the strait spring on the front. Mine has a straight spring. The part of the manual that shows the different front springs also shows that the rear suspension was changed in some ways in conjunction with the changes to the front. Have not studied it much as I intend to leave it the way it is. Fred
OK , so I'm not crazy, so hopefully the 91 straight spring will fit the shock. I was happy to see the rear axle already has the spring over the axle making it much easier to lift. The problem I'm finding is pats are far and few between for a newer truck. If you go one ebay there are lots of parts for a 91 DD51T and for the 01 DA62T very few, not even filters ?!?!
