Considering the trucks have completely different rear suspensions, leafs vs coils, it is a bit of a presumption to assume the only difference is "paper".
That's not what I said and don't put words in my mouth. The paper limitation I mentioned is because a class 2 truck by definition has a max 10k GVWR. Apply that to heavy diesel truck and that's your on-paper limitation. Nothing more than simple math.
In comparing the tucks, Ram rates the 2500 rear axle at 6500 lbs and the 3500 at 7000 lbs. I never said or implied that this difference exists only on paper.
Then what did this
That's easily remedied with aftermarket options if need be, effectively creating the same truck.mean? How do you make them the same truck when they have completely different rear suspensions?
There may only be a RAWR difference of 500 lbs but there is a GVWR difference of 1400 lbs. Some of that difference may be on paper but neither of us are Ram engineers so neither of us is qualified to say how much is due to regulations and how much is due to structure.
