Huge discrepancies

We're used to it. :)

You know, if Spoon is right and the *only* diff between the F250 and F350 is the rear spring set, I wouldn't hesitate to throw on a pair of air bags and pretend your F250 is an F350.

But usually it's just not that simple. Like the difference between a regular F150 and one with the HD Payload package. There are suspension and tire differences (that can be fixed), but the HD payload truck's rear axle and wheels are also different.

So, except where the differences are really simple and obvious, I prefer to stick with the manufacturer's GVWR rather than try to upgrade. Even if the manufacturer's GVWRs don't make sense all the time.

Spoon is correct and so am I. You must not have read my other post. Rear axle is the same in 2 and 350. Check the part numbers. As are the tires. You continue to misunderstand my point. You do realize that payload is derived from GVWR - actual truck weight. So my point, when you order the mechanically identical 350srw with the 11,400 gvrw package, which is NO Different mechanically than the 10,000 gvrw truck, you get a higher payload because 11400-truck weight is more than 10,000 - truck weight. By 1400 lbs in fact. So why you ask, would one choose the 10,000 gvrw package? Because it costs less to register it annually, it registers as a lighter duty truck. Same truck. Just a different number on the door you have optioned for. Which then ALLOWS you more legal payload or carrying capicity. And since we have now concluded that the only difference in the 350 srw and 250 if also equipped with the rv spring pack, is the 2" rear blocks, then, therefore the 250, mechanically speaking has the same capability of payload as the 350srw.

Maybe that better lays it out. I can go on all day.
