D44HD or D50
I know this has probably been answered a bunch of times before but I couldn't find it in a search or the FAQs
What made a F250 get the 50 over the 44. I know it was supercabs and was there a snow plow prep?
and does anyone have a spring code chart saying the rating and how many leafs?

not sure how that would effect anything since they both have the same front axle GVW

This is all a guess on my part, I really do not know. But that was the reason for my answer. Sorry I did not help much.

Here's a list of axles someone posted on another site, there is continuous and maximum torque ratings for each.
How much horsepower stock 8.8 hold?
Maybe this helps if you are trying to choose between which one you want. The Dana 50 is rated for a bit more.

I have worked for large companies, state agencies, and now the federal government. They are all mostly the same as far as how they do things, so I figured Ford would be the same, and not give any warranty to the truck with a plow on it unless the proper f350 package was ordered. I am guessing the plow prep package could not be ordered on a f250, even though you could theoretically "build" one with the correct options.

but you could order the plow prep on the f250 and it wasn't the f350

I've got 4 F250's in the field of dreams. 3 of them, (2 single cab and one Supercab) have the D50 and one regular cab has the D44HD. Always thought this was a GVW thing. FWIW, the trucks with the D50 also have full floating rear axles. The D44HD regular cab truck has the semi float rear axle.
