Thats a good question...seems like I read somewhere that the factory HD springs are the same as 3/4 ton springs, but I cant say for sure.

I have done lots of research and I think I am going to get 1/2 ton lowering springs for the front and 3/4 ton lowering springs for the rear to retain towing/hauling capabilities.

You may have to ask over in the suspension section for more/better info.
