Nope.
• F-Super Duty Monobeam Coil Spring Rates (F250/350 4x4)
• Front GAWR Rating Current Vehicle Spring Coil P/N 5C34-5310-xxx
• 4000lb. 5C34-5310-AHC
• 4400lb. 5C34-5310-AGC
• 4800lb. 5C34-5310-AFC
• 5200lb. 5C34-5310-AEC
• 5600lb. 5C34-5310-ADC
• 6000lb. 5C34-5310-ACC
Can anyone explain why people continue to post that these are the same trucks and that you can save money by getting a 250 rather than a 350?
Really?
A truck with a 9900 lb GVWR is the SAME truck that has an 11500 lb GVWR?
Laughable and truly ignorant of the truth.

A lot of people assume it is a much heavier duty truck, like with a heavier frame, heavier axles, trans, brakes, etc. Not really true.

When I was doing some research on this subject for my truck, 2006 350 CCLB. The diffrence between this and my last truck 2005 250 CCLB. The 350 has a slightly larger axle shaft and 37 splines not 35. The front axle/springs had where the same. And listed in the charts from Ford the rear are also the same although my 350 has the overload. I was able to find the very long pdf file doing a google search that had the build specs listed for all the trucks for a model year.

it's not hard to understand. take a stock 2005 f-250 with the 9900 GVWR. Add a set of 250 dollar over the leaf helper springs rated at 2500. and now you have leaf springs that look a lot like f-350 springs and the GVWR of 12000.

In the SRW world, they are effectively the same truck, with different options and add-ons available on either truck from the Ford catalog. (DRW being different)
A lot of the reason is plating and insuring costs, and limitations such as driver qualifications required in a commercial environment, E.T.C.

I'm curious, what is the importance of this question?

Conversation.
Why would Ford build the 250 and the 350 when they could have an SD with GVWR's from 9900 to 14000 lbs?
Why does the 350 cost more if it gets the same 10k rating?
Why does Ford build a frame and put an 1800 lb payload sticker on the truck and then put a 4400 lb sticker on the one right next to it?
The frame rails on 150's are not all the same. Ford builds different frames depending on the ratings.
