4X4 frame questions?

What is the difference between a 1/2 ton and a 3/4 ton 4X4 frame for a pickup or suburban? thanks

I *think* they are the same, with the 1-ton frames being stouter. We'll see what others post up...

1/2 ton and 3/4 ton frames are the same. It is the 1 ton frames that are beefier and different from the rest of the pack. Trevor
