F350 vs F250 rear spring block, want to lower the rear

I know this a couple year of thread but it got me wondering.
If you take the 4" block of the back of a 350 and replace them with the 2" block of a 250 are you reducing the load carrying cap of that truck or just the height of the rear bumper?
If it's just the bumper height then to me that would indicate the 250 and 350 are same truck sans a number on a door label with 8800 on one and what 9800 on the other?
am i missing something?

The same spring codes were available on both the F250 and F350. In many instances the block between the springs and axle tubes are the only difference between an F250 and F350 besides the fender/tailgate badges, sticker on the lower B-pillar, and cost of insurance (F250s are often higher because more people own them since they feel they don't "need" a "one-ton" even though they are essentially identical vehicles).
The reason for the taller blocks? The rear doesn't appear to "sag" as much with the same amount of weight over the rear axle.
