The same Visteon Sterling 10.5" rear axle rated at 9750 lbs is used in all F250's and SRW F350's. The same main rear spring pack is also used in both models. The specification differences are due to vehicle class and wheel choice with no actual difference. Look up the part numbers if you doubt this information - I did, so I can cofindently make this claim.
This is absolutely correct. I researched this when I got my F 250. Not only does the diff/axles have all the same part numbers, so do the brakes. Ford de-rates this axle for wheels/tires/springs. The axle itself is rated at 9750. It also weighs 348 lbs in case you needed to know that.
