F250 upgrades
I have a 2015 F250. It's has a 6.5 bed, and it's a diesel. Both of those facts mean that the cargo carrying capacity is diminished compared to a long bed gasser. I haul a 5th wheel and it noticeably s...

Didn't read the article, but agree with above, no reason to change out the block. Air bags would easily level the truck.
The LT WT fiver in signature, should not cause much squat to a 250. It would be considered 1/2 ton towable to many.
Your 250 rear axle, which will carry most all of the pin wt, should be good for 6,000-6200 lbs. The diesel up front will not change RAWR. The truck tires will have at least 6,400 wt rating.

Those years are SOFT. Final spring rate is normal but they ride nice empty and are squishy in the first bit of travel.
And those axles are good for close to 10k not 6k.
Regardless, OP, this is less about the truck and more about being gullible. Learn to recognize click bait. And also learn just a smidge about your truck and things like leverage. Because your theory why your truck is “squatting” is also flawed.
You are correct, the axle is good for at least 10K. I should have said the RAWR is at least 6K+, due to the springs, and maybe tires. However, in those mid teen years, several spring options were available, so not all are soft. My 250 supports an extra 2K over the rear axle, with minimal squat.
These are my F250 springs, with only a B&W FW hitch for load.
Do these springs look soft and squishy to you? Let me tell you, they will carry any FW on the lot!!!:C
