If it was me, when I traded trucks I would make the dealer put the air bags on the new F-350. This way in the future if you go for a heavier rig you wouldn't have to buy them again.

Sounds like they were trying to make it too much like a F150! :B :S
Funny and sad at the same time.....I bought a 3/4ton truck to do a job, a job within the truck's specs but yet I had to beef up my truck.

Believe it was in 2011 when they went to the 6.7 motor. Guys with older F250s that upgraded had issues with the new trucks squatting much more than the older trucks. Ford did this to improve unloaded ride.

Believe Ford went to a softer spring pack in the F250 a few years ago and they squat almost as bad as a 1/2 ton when loaded.

The only difference in your '12 F250 and a F350 SRW is a heavier rear spring pack (7000 lb vs 6100 lb). The rest of the truck has the same mechanical specs per Fleet Ford.
The SRW does come with higher rated 18"/20" wheels and tires. Your F250 may have the same optional 18"/20" package.
Now if your just wanting a new truck then yeah your F250 is a danger to everyone on the road and ....... :B.
Air bags/Supersprings/Timbrens/or add another leaf in the pack will get you the same load carrying capabilities as the SRW truck. Thats a whole lot cheaper than a new truck.

That's very surprising that your truck did "SQUAT" that much with such a light load.
