1500 vs 2500 Frame weight

I already have a shortbed sitting at the shop waiting to get "trimmed". As far as I know its factory firewall. I've been thinking about setting back the engine a bit. But I'm just not sure if I want to do it.

No rules for the firewall.
 
1994 dodge ram 2500 reg cab long bed 5 speed 4x4 5.2 v8- 4949lbs
1994 dodge ram 1500 reg cab long bed 5 speed 4x4 5.2 v8- 4679lbs

270 lb difference
 
Should not be, if memory serves me the 2500 will have a dana 60 front/rear, 1500 has chrysler 9.25 rear, no clue on front
 
44 front, by those #s i bet there is not 40 lbs differance in the frame if that.
 
Oh yeah didn't even think about the axles.... But I figure I made more progress in this thread them anyone else :D
