ram 2500 and 3500
What is the actual difference between the Ram 2500 and 3500 single wheel pickups besides leaf springs and coil. Are the bearings and brakes the same if both have 18 inch rims?

I don't mean to start a war, but in terms of actual differences between the 2, what are they? Within the Ford camp (I hope I get this right as I don't normally get a new truck every couple of years), but the 250 has a 10K GVW and the 350 has a 11,500 GVW. If I recall correctly, both have same gearing, suspension (if 250 is ordered w/ camper/tow pkg), trans, brakes, and the the 350 had 4" blocks in spring pack/250 had 2" blocks. So in a nutshell, pretty much the exact same truck, just a 1,500 pound GVW diff. If I am, wrong, please say so w/o blasting me to kingdom come, but wouldn't this be more/less the same w/ Ram & GM?
Once you go to a 350/3500 dually, no comparison to a 350/3500 SRW.
The comparison between 250/350 did change in 2017. The 250 does come standard with a smaller rear end and spring pack vs. the 350.
