Take a look in my picture album below.

Right now I have my 2 ton all apart, so new pictures of it will be difficult. I'll see if I can go pull some measurements off the fenders.

the simple way of explaining it is that the 1.5 and 2 ton trucks have 20" wheels, and tires around 33-38" overall diameter. The front axle and track width is also slightly wider than the small trucks.
To fit these bigger wheel and tire combinations the fenders sit out slightly wider, the wheel opening is larger, and they actually sit up higher. Then the hood is not as tall, actually smaller, so the top of the hood is in the same place, but it meets the higher fenders.
