The IH Diesel in the Ford weighs about 500 lbs more than the gasser. The extra weight of the Diesel up front does cause some difficulty in off road boondock work, so if I were to do a lot of heavy boondocking, I'd use a gasser because of the lighter weight. My 4WD is for snowy roads, thus the extra weight is not as much of a factor. For this reason, I feel that 4WD is a must for a Diesel because of all the front weight. As for frame flexing, I don't think that makes that much of a difference, unless you are boulder crawling in the Baja, but as said above, if you are boondocking where that might be a factor, then I would recommend a gasser because of the weight factor. Also, a no-spin diff is a must with a Diesel, to help push that extra weight up front. Hope this helps.
