Baja Man,
Can we get some info on your truck
Can you post the front and rear axle ratings (GAWR) on your truck? Your driver door sticker will have them. It would looks like this. This is off my 2005 F350.

You said standard bed. Ford calls these things different on what standard is back in 2003. In the 2003 F350's, crew cab, SRW's, 4 x 2 they made crew cabs wheelbase at 156.2" and 172.4". Which do you have?
In your other post you stated your GVWR is 9,700#. Did I get that correct?
These will help if we get into weight conversations.
Thanks
John
PS. here is a link to the older Ford source book on your 2003 truck https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/non-html/2003/vs_pdf/fseriessd_03abb.pdf
