I think the 350's just have a stiffer suspension and maybe a tougher rear end... but im no expert. Someone who knows what there talking about should be able to help you out

Had a '79 f350 srw 4x4 for 13 years, here's a few differences I noticed in that time: Rear helper springs had 4 leafs instead of 1 or 2. Drag link was a bigger diameter. But the steering box is the same. Dana 60 king pin front axle instead of dana 44 (although super cab f250's also got a 60). Bigger u joints in the front driveshaft of my f350, rear u joints were the same as a f250. Rear break shoes were 2 1/2" wide instead of 2". I am sure a dually owner would have more differences to note...
