F350 HD DRW mods for 4500# camper

June 2020. Given a 2020 F350 HD DRW, what suspension adds will best help handle the ride and weight of a heavy Lance 1172 camper?

Regarding truck roll or lean, what is the difference between running a Hellwig Big Wig rear sway bar vrs StableLoads? Is it one or the other or would combining both be better than just one?

Air bags ... no way. Thinking best route are Bilstein shocks and SumoSprings. F350 SumoSprings are available in 3000# and 5000#. Anyone have experience with either?

Accepting you can't have your cake and eat it too, without camper. I wonder what the ride would be like with shocks, sway bar &/or StableLoads, and SumoSprings?

Thanks for your replies
  • How about NOTHING?
    My 2017 F350 carries 6500lb of camper+ cargo with no mods.
    I added hockey pucks on upper overloads just in case.
    This week I added 3500 lb boat on 4' stinger and still close to level, although I tried to pack lighter.
    For empty comfort I install Sulastic Hangers.
