I can tell you, for my Ford, there is more differences between SRW and DRW than just an xtra tire and leaf spring.
Rear end is different, rear brakes have different surface area dimensions. Etc.
I would do some more digging before you try and convince yourself that the only difference is a tire and a spring.
Without attempting to turn this into a debate (again, not my intention) I want to clarify some things.
I'm not attempting to convince myself... I talked with Ram directly, and that is what I was told. He looked everything up from Ram spec sheets. I've owned Ford F250's and you are absolutely correct. They ARE different. Rams are not.
2012 Ram 2500

2012 Ram 3500
Caliper:68049154AA

The hub assy is the only difference on the 2500 and 3500 rear axle.
