I see the sag complaint a lot too but I'm not getting it. Our 5th wheel had 1900 lbs of pin weight along with 140 lbs of hitch and maybe 100 lbs in the tool chest. The rear of our 4X2 F250 sits a little high empty and when hitched up to the 5th wheel it sat level. It settled 2-3". Some might call that sagging or squatting and look for fixes where none are needed. Maybe I see things different as I've used my truck to carry up to 3300 lbs for work. Sitting a little lower than empty is normal.
The 2011 thru about 2014 had the soft rear springs. They will work, but the rear has to drop till the overloads springs are contacted. I have 860 lb hitch weight and about 400 lb in the bed, also a cap on the bed. I added air bags and run 23 psi in them to level the truck.
