Still can't decide between DRW or SRW?

My F250 started with the 18" F350 rated wheels and camper package giving me the rear upper overload spring of the F350 plus a stablizer bar. Adding upper and lower StableLoads allowed it to carry 7000 lbs on the rear axle without excessive sag and still very good empty handling.

The additional 1000 lbs on the rear to get to 8000 lbs required more upgrades. 19.5" tires and rims (my setup had 4805 lb rated tires and 4500 lb rated rims), heavier dampening shocks (these 19.5" commercial wheels are heavier and need better dampening control) and air bags (the springs were too at their limits). Adding the heavier tires made the ride harder than stock, but my shocks were the adjustable Rancho's so dampening could be adjusted for heavy or light loads.

I'm sure the 4-link air suspension will make the ride better loaded and unloaded. I didn't go this route because I plan on upgrading to a 6000 lb truck camper that would have overloaded the Sterling 10.5's 9750 lb rating.

I'm sure if you wanted to you could throw some semi springs on it and haul a 48ft semi trailer but have you given any thought to what the axle is rated for...sure it can probably be overloaded for a while but sooner not later you'll be looking at a bearing or housing failure.
