So again, this gets me to the same place as before. Everyone likes to talk about the "legality" of it and how "insurance companies will have a field day" but is there any evidence for this? Has this ever been adjudicated? Like you said, couldn't you just show that with upgraded springs, you've, in all manners that matter, increased your payload to that of other F150's?
Paylod is a multifaceted thing. It affects your frame, rear axles, tires and brakes. You can upgrade all you want and it won't matter. The payload number is the payload number. You can add components such as springs and bump stops to make it more comfortable but the truck doesn't magically increase its factory payload capacity.
This guy sheds some insight around 1:20.
