Subject: Will RT Suspension work on a 2000 Q. Cab
IP: Logged

Message:
Hello all.

I have an opportunity to get all the suspension off a 2000 Club Cab RT. (front coils, rear leaf springs, and both swaybars).
I am wanting to know, before I purchase, If this will work the same and fit the same on a 2000 Quad Cab 4.7 Given the extra weight of a Quad Cab and the shorter bed length versus the Club Cab. Are the leaf springs in the rear a different size?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You're going to lose load carrying and towing capacity should they fit. I don't know, but I see no reason why they wouldn't fit.

When I can find my part number listing I'll see if there are different part numbers between the non-R/T CC and QC trucks. If they are the same, I'd venture to guess the R/T springs would fit without problems.

What's your left foot doing?

I did that the same thing on my 2002 qc, the rear end becomes really soft and bouncy, I could push the rear end down quite a few inches just with pressure from my hand, i dont think the springs can hande the extra weight in the rear from the qc. btw the leafs I put on had less than 10,000 kms on it.

The only reason it wouldn't work in the front is if the QC is 4x4.
Since you haven't stated whether it was 4x4 or 2x4, can't give good answer.
