Buzzcut1 - I have about 3-4" clearance above the cab, and I know Fords flex, so, suppose that's about right.
SidecarFlip - Not sure what rating the rims are. It came new with aluminum 17s, but the previous owner put on Lariat 18" rims. Running BFG ATs, with a 3,640 rating right now. It should have come with an upgraded tranny cooler with the towing package. Do you mean replacing that?
The camper's mfg sheet says the CG is 29" from the front 67" from the rear. My rear axle is about 39.5" from the front, so, should be about 9-10" forward of the rear axle.
JimK-NY - It came with Rancho shocks, which I thought were part of the FX4 package, but maybe they were with the slide-in camper package, along with the overload springs, which, I'm only hitting the bumpstops on one end of the overloads, and it sits almost level. At least, better than with my 5th wheel.
zcookiemonstar - The max payload shows 2,399, which I assumed, with a 10k GVWR, meant the curb weight of the truck should have been 7,601, but I really have no idea if that's correct, or if the GVWR is just a designation for the class of vehicle. I looked at the listed curb weights of a typical F250 crew, 4x4, shortbox with 6.0 (no mention of towing or camper pkg), and it showed a front curb of 4,356 and rear of 2,713, for a total of 7,069. I really don't know if that's what my truck was, because the landscaping place (who sells everything to industrial/commercial and tractor-trailer and cement trucks) listed me as 7,860. Not sure what to believe.
Freep - Hadn't thought of that. Maybe too much beer before the trip...
Wanderingbob - They are. It came with them factory installed for the original owner's shortbed. The second owner took them off for his long bed, and I put them back on for mine. Besides the "light weight" (cough) of the camper, that's one of the things I wanted, in case I move to a long bed later.
And to add, I fueled up right before getting my CAT rating of 10,260. Drove 288 miles home, with a 1/4 tank left, and stopped at the landfill to get a weight before pulling into town (NOT the rock/cement scales). They showed me at 10,220. So, 40 lbs difference between the two scales and after using about 25 gallons of fuel. Someone is off, and I don't think it's CAT.
