Anton, Welcome to "The Best Darned Forum on the WWW"! There is essentially no way to officially change the GVWR of a truck without having it recertified by the manufacturer, which is, I'm told, not impossible but next to impossible. The added spring, which I did on my '05 2500, will give you added piece of mind that your truck may be able to carry the additional weight. I did the comparison in '06 when I got my truck (used), and the only difference in part numbers at that time was the spring package. I pulled the first year with the 2500, but upgraded in '08 to the 3500 dually. A lot has been written on this subject here on this forum, you might try the search function above....I think the truck will handle the added weight but one should consider the weight on the tires and the "possible" legal aspects of towing overweight. Do your research well and make up your own mind. Good Luck!!!!!

Good advice.
