This a false statement. A megacab is not significantly heavier than a standard cc pickup.

Yeah. A whoppin' 173 lbs heavier than other same wheel base configured 2500 Cummins 4x4 trucks.
The OP just as anyone that wants to carry a heavy payload in the bed of any truck needs to weigh his trucks front and rear axles separately and pay attention to the trucks RAWR/tire capacities as it will carry just about all the weight on a short bed truck. In some cases a TC can unload the trucks front axle on a short bed.
I've seen a lot of 2500/3500 SRW Mega cab rear axle weights which most are in the 3000-3200 lb range. That leaves 2800-3000 lbs for a payload.
Now the OP can mod the trucks small 6000 lb rear suspension with aftermarket products we all use. And he can upgrade wheels and tires to a higher capacity.
Or just use what he has and keep front and rear axle/tire weights under those numbers.

Every one I've seen in person looks just like this. I dunno what else to say on that subject.
We've had several on here reporting their Mega Cab Cummins's at 7800-8100 tare on the scales. Maybe they're not "significantly" heavier than a regular crew cab, but they are still HEAVY, and leave very little between curb weight and GVWR for payload and passengers.
