Your F450 has both an upper and a lower overload spring. Take a look at this page on Torklift's site for a good explanation of your rear suspension.
Upper Stableloads replace the thin contact pad that your upper overload spring engages after the truck squats approx 2-3". The Stableload pads are very thick, and cause the overload spring to be engaged almost immediately, so the truck doesn't squat as much with a heavy load.
Lower Stableloads do the same thing for the lower overload spring; bringing it into play sooner so you can take advantage of its load-carrying capacity without squatting as much.
One advantage of the uppers vs lowers (so I've heard, anyway) is that the lowers can be noisy on rough roads. I've never had the lowers though so maybe someone who does can comment on that. The uppers are probably easier to install on most trucks. Some trucks require drilling to install the lower Stableloads.

Best of luck recovering from the storm. Glad you have the Host to fall back on.
You'll love the F450. The only suspension mod I put on mine is upper Stableloads.Rangerman40 wrote:
What's the payload capacity on that bad boy? 14k GVWR or 16500?
All of the 2015+ F450 pickups are 14K GVWR. 16500 is for a cab and chassis.onekg wrote:

Look in Texas. You'll get a better deal on a truck in the south.
