Is the only difference betwwen these two trucks really the rear overload springs on the 3500?
Do we have a Dodge Tech that could weigh in on this issue?
Thanks for you thoughts.........

I don't know all the difference, but I do know you can't slap a set of 3500 springs on there and call it a 1-ton. The 3/4-ton frame would need a bracket welded on to accomdate the bumps on the 1-ton overload springs.

The "tow capacity" is technically the same on the two trucks. The difference is in payload capacity which will allow the 3500 to handle more tongue/pin weight (plus cargo). The cab configuration will also affect payload (i.e. Reg>QC>Mega) as will 4X4 vs. 4X2, Auto vs. Manual, etc..
