I was putting tie-downs on my 2017 F350 last March.
The only problem was that the brackets were overflown with powder coating, what partly filled up holes.
Bad moment to find that bolt is not fitting into the hole when you are under the truck, holding fished bolt with one hand and bracket with other.
Inspect the tie-downs well before installation.
My new dually is holding 6500lb camper without modifications, but you will have to see how your set up works.
Did you order diesel truck? Even with 3.55 differential the beast can pull 14k-16k combos on 6% grades without dropping down from 6th gear, so I would not mind bigger wheels for fuel saving alone.
