Not only that, but in many cases the diesel version has a higher rated front GAWR than the gassers to compensate for the added engine weight. In the case of my Ram, the front GAWR is 500 lbs higher than the gas version.
Shiner, is there any physical difference to the front axle on a gasser vs a diesel to account for that difference in rating? Are the springs slightly stiffer or something? I've never noticed that there was a difference...
The axles are the same. As far as the front coils, I don't know the actual specs, but I do know there are at least 8 different part numbers on Mopar parts online. I which Ram would go into more detail in their body builder like Ford does in their spec sheets.
