It would be nice if Ford would put the heavier F450 cab/chassis rear springs on the F450 pickups. Then nobody would need to do anything to the rear of a new 450 pickup. Ford always puts too soft rear springs on their pickups, regardless of class or year. The cab/chassis trucks get the real beef.
With the 17's redesigned springpack, you won't need to do anything to keep it level.
I would certainly hope so. Every 450 I have seen towing a DRV has air bags. And more than one of them complained about a bouncy ride even with the bags.
It was actually very funny the wife of a couple that pulled into DRV while we were there getting warranty work done told my wife we did not have enough truck and needed to get a F450 like they had. My wife just smiled.
That happen to us as were sitting at an rv park with our new 2001 35 ft alpenlite and new 2001 3500 chev dually. Man walked up and after a few minutes told us we don't have enough truck. Well what do you have and his answer was the same alpenlite as ours and a 99 f-250.
I really laughed inside on that answer and we talked about the subject for tooo long but he knew he was right. I became a friend of his later but no truck talk of any kind.
