First Timer: Lance 865 and F350 SRW

I'll be hauling it home from the dealer on Saturday, about a 160 mile trip. I passed on airbags, the truck has a max payload cap of 3420lbs and the camper weighs 2300lbs (wet). I don't think it'll sag much at all.
What should I be looking out for?
Anyone have this combo?
2015 F350 PSD SRW 11500 GVWR
2015 Lance 865
How do you think it'll ride? What mods did you make to improve the ride?
Thanks for the words of wisdom to help out this newbie.

    We have the same basic truck as you (see signature) and carry a Lance 855S. We are driving the truck stock, with no suspension modifications. The truck carries the camper amazingly well! It does squat a bit and my long range plans are to add air bags or stable loads (primarily to get the head lights back on the ground), but the handling is so good I haven't been too inspired. We do have the cabover struts, which I highly recommend. If you have additional questions, I'm happy to assist where possible.

    Good luck with your new camper.
