Having pulled a 40 ft FW with a 05 F250, 08 F 450 DRW and 12 F350 I know you can do it. That being said the 250 was definitely the worst of the 3 but depending on where you are, terrain and distance you will travel are variables that you know. If it was me I would take truck back and get a 350 while you may take a small hit there will be better value on the truck than trailer.
Cheapest solution would be 19.5 rims and tires, and some air bags. Or a trip to the CAT scale loaded to the way the OP is going to use it.
Agree with Chris, on tires/rims/bags, or move to 350 DRW. No point in 350 SRW, unless looking for higher rated stickers.

If OP has the same 18 or 20 tires as the F350 SRW he may just need to bag it like most Ford owners do to fix sag. Again CAT SCALE loaded to how it is going to be used.
