Did you have to add swing-out brackets to the Host, or did yours already have them. Mine doesn't so I was wondering how difficult it might be.

Yes I saw that announcement with the F450. Only thing I can't be certain of is if they also brought back the S110 (?) heavier duty rear axle as well. Of course, I was also hoping for the '10 since I would be able to find a used one, I may have to weight again to get a used 2014.

Sorry didn't mean to take this off track

Congrats on the new truck Jim. I have been wanting that same 2010 truck since they changed the F450 in '11 . I have heard from owned on the dieselstop forum that they say the F450 pickups are a little soft in the rear to make them more comfortable to drive, so yo may need some help in the back, but you may be able to reuse some of the goodies from you '06.

Post up some pictures of the new rig.

It sounds like you well be able to get that truck again as it sounds like Ford is bringing the 19.5 tires and such back in 2015.

It is true that the F450 were designed more for towing than hauling and they did have the longer springs for a little softer ride but still I would wait and see how the camper rides before adding anything. If you need Stable Loads most of places can get them to you in a couple of days if you are in a hurry for them.

Not that interesting at the moment with a camper, but here it is. :)
