New F250 to F350 Differences?

Sorry if this has been answered a bundred times already.
In the newest ( 2015 and likely not too changed 2016 ) how
much is different? Or is it just a bit heavier springs?
Truck i order will likely be a crewcab, 8' box, 6.2 gasoline engine, 4x4. Nicely optioned up would be my guess to. I am unsure if the frames, brakes, transmission, differentials, mirrors, etc would also be changed.
Thanks in advance.

IIRC, lift blocks in the rear and the F350 badge on the side.

If I ReCall

I looked into the differences between the two when I was shopping for a truck, and that was the only difference that really stood out.

Thanks again.
Its funny that is all for a difference, but according to ford it is safe to carry much more weight.

I've got two 350s, mostly because I want a eight foot bed. And it's hard to find 250s with a long bed.

A 250 would be enough for my needs.
But the differences are so little i guess i could order either and be happy.
The F250 has a 2% luxury tax here in BC.
The F350 is a few dollars more.
So its a wash basically.

2 extra inches of squat for a load in the bed and the truck is still level with an acceptable headlight pattern = higher payload capacity with the same axle and suspension. It also carries a higher registration fee since it's rated to carry more payload in the bed (at least it does in CA).
