Difference of F250 vs F350SRW

[bigredram3500]

I was wondering what the differences between the 07 Superduty F250 4x4 and F350 single rear wheel 4x4 suspensions are?

i think its just the srpings which means more payload pretty much. i have used both f250s and f350s for work and both have pulled the same heavy trailers with no difference in performance.

others may chime in for the correct answer.

Well, my Ram3500 died on me w/ only 99,000 miles so Ive switched to a Ford. They had some 07 F250 for $2k back of invoice, I couldnt resist. I run an in bed wheel lift for towing cars and was concerned w/ sagging and controlability while towing. I am moving up to a larger rear sway bar and running Firestone Ride-Rite bags.

I guess I was wondering if I could swap in some rears springs from an F350SRW and just bolt them in and gain an advantage?

i was just about to suggest bags for the tow rig. i dont have them on mine, but a friend of mine owns a paving stone company and has them on his truck since he pulls trailers none stop all over-just loves them.

someone told me one time that the ride is a little better in the 250 than the 350...guess cause stiffer springs in the 350 to handle weight better

I would think that you can swap out the springs. The monts should be the same on both. The 350 springs may give you a little lift too!

Thanks guys, Im heading to the junkyard to check it out. They have a wrecked 06 F350SRW. Im gonna compare and if they're beefier, they're coming home with me. I'll let yall know.

No difference in the rear springs 250 has 1 7/8" block 350 has 3 3/4" block. The only other difference is the rear 250 10.25" ring gear 350 is 10.50". Those are the only major differencebetween the two everything else is pacage options as in FX4,towing,snowplow prep,etc,etc,etc.

500 lbs payload capacity, 750 lbs towing
