I'm not particularly familiar with Ford's standard suspensions, but on my current truck, a previous-generation GM item, there are literally more than one dozen different spring rates offered in the front end alone.  Some of these are produced in increments as low as 1-2%.  GM specs these based on the drivetrain, suspension package, length, weight, weight-distribution, and moments of inertia of the vehicle.  And being full size trucks, there are a ridiculous number of such configurations.  I can't imagine Ford doesn't operate the same way.

Ford PR indicates this to be the case for the Raptor:

I'm sure Fox worked a lot more closely with SVT/Ford than is typical given the nature of the truck, but at the end of the day the truck is a Ford and Fox is a supplier/contractor.

All that said, if you're racing and jumping 6 feet in your Raptor, I can understand your strong preference with for the SuperCab.  But I'll guarantee you SVT didn't parts-bin the SuperCrew suspension together.  That would truly be a new thing for  SVT.  And unlike GM, Ford seems to understand the value of its premium performance group/brand.
