Exactly! I get a chuckle out all of the comments telling the guy that he needs an F350 / 1 Ton single rear wheel. The only thing he'd be gaining is some stickers, some F350 emblems and a 4" rear block instead of the F250 2" block. Are you sure the helper spring is only on the F350 in 2011? I know my F250 is a bit older than the one mentioned however it has the rear helper spring. F250 or F350 in a single rear wheel configuration have little difference and will handle nearly identical. Unless you're jumping to a dually the advise to go to a 1 ton isn't going to get you much. FYI, my truck has an 8,800lb GVWR on the door yet the local DMV has it registered for 11,200lbs and they did this with out me saying a word or requesting it.
