I've been running a 4" lift with 35" tires and a 2500# camper for 5 years with zero problems despite the naysayers. Handles the 80 mph freeways just fine and goes anywhere I point it!! :B
I carried a 4000 lb hard side camper and would not want to try it unless those 35" tires were 285/70R19.5 and the spring pack was much firmer. 19.5" tires and firm suspension does not make the best offroader...
Even 35" tires aren't necessarily an issue. My truck rides on 35" tires just fine. They are ProComp XMTs in size 305/70R18 (35x12x18)and can carry 3750lbs each at only 65psi.
DJ, are you running airbags or Timbrens when loaded? My stock suspensioned F350 carries the 3000ish+ pounds of our Outfitter and still sits slightly tail high when fully loaded.
My 35's are 12.5" wide with a max psi of 65. Not the most desirable for camper hauling!!
No air bags. 3500# frame mounted overloads. Do not affect empty ride.
