wow, your first post. Welcome!. Im not positive but i would guess maybe 100-150lbs heavier is all. If the only difference is the engine the 8.1 has iron heads and the 6.0 has aluminum heads so the difference there will not be that great.

Looks sweet, but you realy need to drop the back down. Some $45 shackles and 30 min would do the trick.

I use this to pull a 10,000lb enclosed car hauler. The truck has Autoride so it will maintain the same height when loaded down
