seriously?? for 10 YEARS Ford has misprinted specifications for 3rd party body builders.. I don''t think so. Think what you want
We had a thread the other day where some Ford guru posted part numbers for the rear axle shaft on both truck. They carry the same part number.
I'm not a Ford guy but that bit of mis print Ford posted is well known by Ford fans and guys like me that look up specs and compare.
However shaft diameter on a full floater is more about performance/tow rating I suspect as the shaft carries no weight.
The OP has upgraded tires and wheels. If he sagging more than he like a upgrade in rear springs to match the 350 SRW 7000 RAWR or the simple air bag will give the truck the same ability.
The truck has a 6100 RAWR/5600 FAWR = a minimum of 11700 lbs of braking performance. Actually rear brake specs are the same as the 7000 lb rated rear axle on the SRW truck.
Now add the 7k trailer axles at 14000 lb for a combined 25700 lbs of braking performance.
