1/2vs3/4frame differences?

What are all the differences between 1/2 frames and 3/4 frames for our trucks? Any information would be great.
Thanks

The 3/4-ton frames are thicker material.

The lower a-arms are slightly different too. The ball joints are bigger diameter where they go into the a-arms.

The rear cab mounts on the 3/4 ton frame are located lower on the frame. Normally there is extra bracing at the front of the cross member for the trailing arms.

That is about all I can think of.
