Most significant difference on the 4wd.models is the axle.
The F-250 uses a Dana 50 with Twin Traction Beam (independent) suspension.
The F-350 uses a Dana 60 monobeam (straight) axle.

I failed to mention that the FRONT axle is the axle I am refering to.

Same body, interior. Different rear springs, different front axle and front sprngs. Frame the same except for front axle mounts.
If your trying to decide between buying , go with the 350, it's a much better setup with the straight axle up front.
