You state that the F350 RAWR is 6340 on the 350?? my F350 is 7240#
Is it a srw or dwr?
I was told the the srw are the same.
The dealer tell you that? Prolly didn't have a 350 on the lot to upsell..
You can stop now. Both of your axles are rated for FAR more than 6300 or 7200lbs.
The derate on the F250 is due to class 2 vehicle gvwr limitations not mechanical limitations.
You should know this you’ve seen enough of these discussions to not be obtuse about it.
OP, you’re fine. Your truck is the same as a 350 srw in all respects except spring rate and the 350 likely has a heavier axle but yours is good for 9-10k and the 350 is 10k - 10k plus.
(Y’all can go find the specs that exist that you seem to argue against…if it interests you enough to reply “prove it” or something equally as silly.)
Tires and rims are the real world first limiting factors for rear axle load ratings on any srw.
Now don’t go Baja your F250 with 10k centered behind the axle and cry about it snapping in half like the sensationalized recent reports! Lol.
