Jus2shy's reply is very good covered all but two items.
#1. based on a post the other day current 7,700# GVWR F150's have a 3,750# front axle and a 4,050# rear for a total of 7,800# of capacity.
Given that 7,800 - 6,650 = 1,150, keep in mind that the rear axle is still only 4,050# rated, so you really only have about 900# to play with going by axles.
Doesn't Ford have a 3850lb axle also? I thought depending on GVWR that they came with either 3850 or 4050lb axles. Except for the 8200lb GVW @4800.
I wasn't sure of that, but minus another 200#
And I forgot the #2
#2 With 3.55's what size engine do you have? If a smaller engine with the 3.55 it will not move well.
