6.7 vs 6.2 suspension difference?

So I was at the Ford dealer today checking on my truck and got to looking at a couple CC SB's next to each other. Both were 4x4 and not FX-4's. I noticed that the 6.2 had 3 leaf springs and the 6.7 had 2.

Why the difference?

Did you check options?? -It could be that the 6.2's had the overload that comes with the Camper package...

The 6.7 might not have had the same package - just a guess..

Anybody know what the real weight difference is between the two? I'm guessing the oil-burner is substantially heavier...but maybe the new 6.7L isn't a whole lot more than the 6.2.

My 6.0 used to have a noticeable heavy front end.

If the new 6.7 and 6.2 are close in weight, maybe they don't justify changing out the suspension for an "apples-apples" truck...

From what I've seen the F350 has the extra leaf in the back but the F250 doesn't. Did you see if they were 250 or 350?

Thats exactly what I was thinking. I ordered a 350 but both of these were 250's.

Remember the engines are over the front axles, not the rear.

Oy...800lb difference, yeah, you'd think the suspension on the front axle would be beefed up a bit over the gas engine. I guess they probably put a heavier spring up front to manage that difference in weight.
