So a couple people commented on my comment about the 1" drop with the tounge weight of my TT. So another reason I bought the 3500 with the 8' bed is so I can get as much firewood at our camp that I want. Cut down an Ash tree. Doesnt compare in weight to green oak but got two big loads anyway.
I never measured the first load but on the second load the rear was about .5" lower than the front. Yes it was loaded heavy in the rear because I dont have a hedache rack. Ill probably look into one but not sure if they work with tonneau covers.
Was about 3" from the bump stop hitting the axle and the lowest overload was not making contact with the leaf above it. My FIL 2013 F350 with upper and lower overloads would look very similar, his last 07 F350 would still be rear high without a doubt.
it could be one of the ways these trucks are designed and when they are at full capacity the rear is lower than the front. Its not going to bother me for now but if/when I upgrade to a fifth wheel I would probably consider airbags to eliminate this.
Also have seen a lot of these trucks lately, my reason for choosing white is that it hides any light scratches. I really contimplated ordering with the blackout package but I knew id go crazy over the scratches.
