Well, after three years of planning and two more to go until retirement, we've finally purchased our future full timing 5th wheel. (see signature). I've spent the past three years pouring over info i...

Drillagent, thanks for your service, a couple thoughts having some miles in both an F250 and F350 srw. The big issue as you heard is really tires, if you have the 20's on your truck you have 7500 lbs of tire. If you have the Camper package you have the spring pack from a 350 with short blocks and 7500 lbs of tire. Airbags will be a great addition as the advertised pin of 2260 on the FL is going to squat pretty good.
I have put yellow Bilstien shock and a Hellwig Bigwig sway bar on my 2011 350 and it was worth every cent. Truck is totally calm with 31 ft Toyhauler on the back. The truck was fine before but with those and LT tires on the trailer everything just goes right on down the road very relaxed.
The Ford brake controller is easy to setup I noticed one thing that may help, it has a pressure input that software uses to set the output. If you stab the pedal it's going to hit the brakes harder I run mine right around 7. Feels great.
You mention hills in Ark.on the way home the Ford EB won't really slow the rig as much as hold the speed in Tow Haul I top the hill at around 50 and get it into 3rd as quick as possible which nets about 3300 rpm it takes about that rpm to generate noticeable braking it will hold speed on most hills.
That's my 2 cents, hope you have a fun trip this weekend.
