IMO not with severe overloading issues as your looking at.
A fawr/rawr is the lessor of a wheel....tire....spring pack....or the axle assy itself....especially the trucks rear axle.
There has been a picture posted a few times of a F350 ??/TC with air bags with a broken main frame rails over the axle where the shock attaches. I believe the owner was using 100 ?? psi in the bags to level his severally over loaded truck.
I'm not sure what the '01 Fords SD rear axle mfg rating is on your older truck. Using that number as a max then up rated rear spring packs, from a spring shop, for that load ....19.5" wheel and tires might be a way to go. Other TC owners have done that so maybe they can tune you in on what your real world issues will be for your '01 F350 SRW.
