My stock tires on my 250 are T265/75Rx16E. I have a 2000 F-250.

I believe the front axle on the SD F-250 is actually a Dana 50.

The Dana 50 was discontinued, from 2002-up F250 and F3504x4 have a Dana 60 front.

The 250 has the 2 inch blocks in back and the 350 has 4 inch.

EVERYTHING else can be had on both trucks. You can get either set of tires for the 250.

Hey, I'm a horsey person too. I bought an F350 DUALLY, The one ton capacity does make a difference when you are towing big 4 horse goosenecks with all that wieght in the bed of your truck. The truck is great and when your hauling you do not get white knuckles when that semi goes by at 80 + or when you mare and stallion decide they should try to mate in the back of your trailer. The axle on the dually is huge. Do not know about the brakes, buti if you can get the torqueshift 5 speed auto tranny in your package DO IT. The tow/haul switcht is wonderful and it works in all 5 forward gears damn near down to 5 MPH. Hope this helps. rimshoes.
