Add airbags to the 2500 and you could put more it in than a 3500 SRW. Not legally of course, you are still restricted by the door sticker in that regard.
Note that a 3500 DRW will haul substantially more in the bed than any SRW, even with airbags. You get to a point where 2 tires just isn't enough.

i don't know, i had a 2500 last year and now a 3500. i can put the same amount in each truck, both short boxes. i don't see anything on the door saying i can put more in the bed,the axles are the same so why would it go higher???
i have air bags, but both trucks did.
rims have a weight rating, tires do too, an axle of course does as well.

FWIW, they also came with standard factory cab lights at least in 04.5.
I didn't care whether I got a 2500 or 3500.....but they were basically the same price when I was looking.....so I figured why not take the 3500? And then I found my truck and bought it.

You can legally put 1000# more in the bed of a 3500. The price difference was $300 when I bought mine so why not! My 05 had cab lights as standard equip. My 07 does not have the cab lights.
