What year did the F250 get a boost in the GVW rating from 8800lbs to something higher?
It was in CY 2004, but it was the 2005 model that began hitting the streets in August, 2004.
The 2005-up model comparable to your current 2002 F250 PSD 4x4 SuperCab Shortbox has a GVWR of 9,800 pounds. The 2005-up trucks are a little heavier than your older model, so you'd gain about 800 pounds of payload compared to your current ride when it was stock.

my 88 250 has the stock sticker on it for 9k its a 250 hd if that matters idk the things way past a 250 anymore but i got 550 springs and a dana 80 drw rear running singles and i usualy haul way over no problem again thats an upfitter thing i dont have paperwork for except their sticker i think they have it as 8k rear now as their modification (rear is braced and stronger than stock too i think)
thats usualy cheaper than a new truck
look at speed channel's website they have a truck show on there and they usualy have frankentruck in there it has a 550 rear in a350 for your body style you may want to do that

Changing sentences with an enter would be a good start. I can read that
