All that said, you ha e the truck, you have the camper. How does it drive in your opinion?
All you need to do is fine tune the ride now. Nothing major needed.

PS don’t fall into the rvnet trap of counting calories with your setup. You will have folks micro analyzing your “ratings” who know not much about trucks but pretend to be experts. $20 says someone tells you you need a F350 before this thread is over! Lol

Yes you are correct you win the $20.00. I'm already having people telling me to get a F450. This camper came off of a Older F250 super duty without any mods, but I have a 2016 F250 super duty 6.7 Diesel crew cab power stroke turbo the older F250 that it was on did not have this. I have the air bags already installed. the only thing the RV suspension shop that only works on Trucks and motorhomes undercarriage suspension upgrades only is recommending is a sway bar because Ford no longer puts them on their trucks anymore and SuperSprings Overload that sit on top of your leaf springs. I already upgraded the Tires but if I plan to leave the camper on for long periods of time then it was recommended to upgrade to 19 inch rims with a 14 ply tires with a rating of 4,000 lbs load instead on my 18 inch rims and a 10 ply tire with a max load of 3,640 lbs. I don't need to upgrade shocks I have had people telling me to add dual rear shocks in the back The RV shop said NO because all I would be doing is putting too much **** on it that won't make a difference it would only be an over kill plus the prior owners of the truck already installed heavy duty rear shocks because they were hauling 5th wheels. This trucks tow rating in 15,500 per the VIN but that does not mean anything on the max load you can carry in your truck bed.
