As the OP could I please ask someone with a 2017/2018 Ford Superduty F350 4x4 DRW please tell me how high the bed rail is at the tailgate with 3200lbs sitting directly over the rear axle?
I keep reading and hear about of this suspension squat underload due to progressive rate springs installed in this trucks to soften the unloaded ride.
My beds rails sit at 55 inches off the ground loaded or unload thanks to my air bags and my 5ver overhang is about 61 inches off the ground with the trailer level. And no it's not 15 year old.
I can't imagine the new truck squatting 5 inches under a load of 3200 lb's but anything's possible I guess.
I just know that I'm not raising a perfectly towing trailer to fit a truck designed for off road busk escursion's. Speaking of that who in their right mind takes a dually offroad onto bush trail's. Dually are made for hauling heavy loads not trail driving
As I posted earlier, I have the exact same trailer as you and a 2017 F-350 dually. I have around 8" clearance, camper runs level when hooked up and my rig is stock. Unless you changed from factory height when you did the IS, yours should run the same as mine.
