Spark Plugs 5.4L

Is it any easier to change spark plugs in a SuperDuty with a 5.4L than in an F150 with a 5.4L?

No, they're both equally a PITA and time consuming. Same engine, placement in the F250 is a little different. Otherwise, same thing.

I did the plugs on my wife's Expy as well as my SD. I think the SD went easier as well as faster. Honestly, I used my wife's truck as a guinnea pig! The SD has a bigger injun bay and I found it to be a little easier to get around in. You may or may not find that to be the case.

Jamesg is right, though--PITA on both. 3-4 hrs for each.

Nah, I took off the fuel rails. It was no big deal in my opinon. They did dribble a little fuel, but it was not much at all. Maybe a teaspoon or two. I made sure to keep track of the rubber o-rings on the injectors too.
