I upgraded my F250 to carry my Arctic Fox but knew there was not enough truck to carry my current Host. Rather than buying something that immediately needed upgrades, I chose a truck that could carry a Mammoth in stock configuration. Now that I have added an additional 1000 lbs of storage boxes and batteries to my truck, I did add upper StableLoads. This was done to keep the truck level when my trailer is also in tow. Without the trailer, I am slightly rear high and like this setup without needing bags or other devices.
