Do a search on this topic and you will find additional information. The only other difference I was able to find between the a 2008 2500 HD and 2008 3500HD SRW besides the overload springs was the OEM part number for the rear axle bearings. I haven't physically compared them to see if they are in fact different. IIRC LT265/75/R16 tires will give you 3415#'s capacity and are nearly identical in diameter to your 17 inch wheels. No need to change your truck's computer tire size setting. The payload for a 3500 is about 700#'s more than a 2500. The change to the higher capacity tire more than accounted for that difference in my truck which came with the stock LT245/75 -R16's. Since the 17's were optional for the 2008 2500 and the stock was 16's you should have no problem finding someone willing to make a swap rims with you. Just another option you may wish to consider.
