I don't enjoy being the bearer of bad news. You've convinced yourself, but you haven't convinced me. Assuming they both have overload rear springs, the big difference between a 2009 F-250 and a 2009 F-350 SRW is the rear axle/differential. Overload rear springs are std on the F-350 SRW and come with the camper pkg on the F-250. Your rear axle is rated 6,200 pounds @ground. The F-350 SRW rear axle is rated 7,280 pounds @ground.
Per the Timbren website:
"Q. Can I haul more weight on my truck if I install Timbren's SES kit?
A. You cannot exceed the manufacturer's axle rating or GVW rating of the vehicle. A Timbren suspension enhancement system will greatly enhance the performance of a heavily-loaded vehicle. You can expect the vehicle to have reduced sag and improved roll stability."
So no, you don't have a stealth F-350 SRW. You have a nice-riding F-250.
