So is a F450 like Ford put 19.5’s ( and wt steer axle) on a F350 thinking that increases capacity without checking here first?

No Ford claims the F350 has a higher carrying capacity than the F450 has ..... it's some of us on here that have a hard time believing Ford is being up front with what they're talking about.
Cummins,
What would you say is the limiting factor on what an f450 can carry? Is it the suspension? The Frame? What about the F350? I think the F450 is limited by its suspension. I think the F350 is also limited by its suspension and I'm guessing they both have the same rear srings, unless you go to the 2 wheel drive f350.... then you get suspension rated to carry a little more. The f450 has more braking, stronger axles, more wheel bolts and same frame. The tires I don't know, but I'm guessing maybe the 19.5 tires are rated to carry more than 17's even though the 17's have bigger tire to road contact point.... the 19's can likely take more air? Without modifying the f450's suspension I don't know how you claim it is built to carry more than what its suspension is rated for?
