F150 payload quetion

I was talking to someone on another website about this and he told me that he climbed under both trucks, got all the part #'s and insists that a Max tow Screw with a 6.5' bed has the same exact parts under it as the HD pkg except the 7 lug wheels. I find that very hard to believe once you see the difference in payload #'s. It has to either have bigger axles or stronger leaf springs or something?
Most of the standard 4x4 crew trucks are around 1500 lb, the max tows are 1800 while the HD payload are 2200+. I have not driven a max tow but the HD payload package is a huge jump in stability. It's not even comparable. Mine has 2171 on the sticker, crew 4x4 with HD payload and max tow.
