This is about 10' long bed, so the axle has to be at least 5 ft behind the cabin.
Those welds look poorly done from start. No penetration.
Will look for pictures on air ride.
I put sulastic hangers on mine dually and after restarting the season 2 days ago, drove some with empty truck as well. No big complains about ride on good roads.
I guess the proportions must be similar to a regular pickup then? I was thinking the axle would be farther rearward than it is, but still an improvement as the wheelbase is extended and you have more truck period.
Point is that F550 has rear axle about 1 foot farther to the rear than F450, or that is what I have seen in previous years. (C&C F350 has rear axle farther too)
This way when you slide-in heavy camper, you will have COG well in front of the axle, when on lighter trucks it comes behind the axle, what force owners to limit the loads.
