02 & 03 Frames ?

I want to mount a plow on my 03 250, but the company I called about the mounts said they only have them up to 2002 for the 250.
So I was wondering if anyone was sure if the frames from an 02 & 03 F250 are exactly the same ? I can't imagine they would have changed them, but you never know.

I know they put a lower cross brace below the bumper.

The lower cross brace went in in '02. It was to keep us from running over smaller vehicles. I think the '02 and '03 frames are the same.

I'm pretty sure the "don't run over a Honda" cross-member was added in '01. Don't know if the frame changed any from '02 to '03, but it possible that there could be small differences.

I don't think there were changes to the new ones 01-03 I know my 99 is not like a 03. The plow I bought fits a 03 but is off quite a bit on the 99
