I'm no expert on this matter but if I had to do it again I would have kept my 2500, added the air bags, put in two more leaf springs(the only difference between a 3/4 and 1 ton unit on suspension) and beefed up my braking system. That is basically the only differences between the 3/4 and 1 ton units. Don't know what all that would have cost me but it was nice to go out and drive one of the 3500's and I truly like the way it rides and tows. I had a 2004 2980 prior and moved to a 3582 so that's why I traded the 2500 in. The problem with the 2500 basic unit is that it will tow the heavier Monte but the braking system is not designed for that heavy on a unit and it will stop the unit but it will take longer to do it! Let us know what you decide.
