Difference in Susp btw 2007 F250 & F350
I heard/read somewhere that the F250 and F350 have the same driveline components, brakes and sometimes even springs. Is this true? If the springs are the same what is different about the suspensio...

No expert here, but I have towed boats and such quite a bit. What may LOOK like the same parts (exact MFG numbering not included), can be quite different in material make up, thickness and strength. Bolts are marked on the head with a numerical system stating what they are rated to do and I am sure material differences in some parts will escape the naked eye. The ability of an axle to withstand more weight has to do with the strength of the internals in that axle and the thickness of those parts. The way things are engineered and put together can also be a factor.
That said, I saw a Mustang pulling a 30 ish foot Maxum boat that I would not have wanted strapped to the back of my truck. He swayed from side to side and bobbed up and down essentially being steered by the boat trailer. I stayed back for a bit and then rushed up to him and floored it past him. I did not want to be behind that mess when it finally caught up with him. I am sure there are TT examples, but hey, I am still a boat guy :)
