I have a VIN. That came through pretty quickly after the order. With the upgraded trailer package, my understanding is that the rear axel is the same as a 350 although geared differently. There are also springs added very similar to the 350 when you add the option I did.
I think that you have it backwards, at one time the rears were the same design and geared the same. Current rears are a different manufacturer but still geared the same. I don't know why the change but they both hold up well.
You need to get the numbers because an F250 with the right options can be much the same as a F350 SRW. Also, springs can be swapped out and the F250 can be made the same as an F350, but the sticker police would have a hissy here.
Now it does sound like you are pushing the limits with any SRW and might be better off with a dually or a smaller trailer.
