but it hink jens answered my question...i suppose the hemi is heavier than the 4.7L thus reducing payload capacity

3.7L V6 - 3700 lbs
4.7L V8 - 7400 lbs
5.7L V8 Hemi - 8950 lbs
Only one figure was given for the max payload 1780 lbs.

I don't know about Dodge trucks but I know that Chevy blazers can have either leaf or coil springs depending on whether they have 4wd or rwd. Also Ford pickup & Expedition vary by suspension setup (live axle vs. indep rear suspension). If there are two suspension setups the leaf spring setup usu can handle more weight same goes for a live rear axle. that's why all eighteen wheelers have live axle & leaf springs.
