I found this regarding the HD Payload package too:
F150 HD Package
- high capacity wheels
- LT tires
- HD shocks
- upgraded rear axle: 9.75" gear set (instead of 8.80")
- upgraded springs
- upgraded radiator and aux. transmission oil cooler
- stronger frame on all but screw (0.150 instead of 0.110 rail thickness). Screw has 0.150 rail thickness regardless of HD payload package already.
Yes, but this HD package is available only in the standard cab, long bed configuration. Ford's HD 1/2 ton has a payload of 3,100 lbs. This is how the TC manufacturers get away saying that their TCs are 1/2 ton compatible. They are referring to HD 1/2 long-bed trucks. None of the big three are producing a HD 1/2 ton in a crew cab, short bed configuration that I know of.
