Monobeam wide track front suspension w/ Extended Axle

I am ordering a 2008 Job#3 F350 4x4 DRW 6.4 with 3.73 gears and the dealer claims I can't add "Monobeam wide track front suspension w/ Extended Axle" because of the 3.73 gear choice. The dealer claims this option is limited to gear ratios 4.10 or higher.

Fact or Fiction?

Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thank You....

Thanks for the validation. Does that make sense?

F450s don't get either 4:10 or 3:73s... has to do with tow rating.

I've got it on my F350, and it's great. Turns better than my 06 Dodge that I traded in. Only thing is the 4.10 rear-end. Can't get very far on a tank of fuel!
