Part of the thread that 3/4 ton and 1 ton are basically the same is that they often have the same RGAWR and the difference is only known to the design engineering team...that they will never tell the public...

Going from 3/4 ton to 1 ton (single rear wheel)...historically they are identical except for the spring packs are heavier duty in the 1 ton. Go check the part numbers for the suspensions and axles. There is no hidden design team.

- Some of the newest trucks (last 2-3yrs) are different rear suspensions (Ram 2500 has coil springs but 3500 has leaf)
