Thanks for the response Coach-man,
You would be correct on Lazy days. They recommended a 500 lb spring, and I paid the difference to get the 1000. I think I will take it to the pilot truck stop and have it weighed. The porpoising isn't so bad I have to do something, but would if it is economical. Was camping last week and talked with a guy that had a Landmark 5th wheel, 42 ft, and did the airbags on his Chevy 2500. He indicated they made the ride better and stopped most of the porpoising. I am like you and don't want to do a F350. Only have 25k on the F250.
