Newbie needs help.
I have a stock 2001 Ford F350 Diesel 4x4 LWB SRW Crew Cab truck with E-Rated tires at 3415lbs and Ranch Hand bumpers front and rear. Last but not least 12,000lb winch. What is the heaviest dry weight ...

Thks everybody. I have gleamed more solid info on here in a few hours than I have in a month of lurking on the internet. Sure glad that I did not throw a ratchet strap around that Artic Fox 860 and bring it home last Saturday.
You are correct that it is over your tire and published rear axle rating. However your truck is NOT undersized at all for an AF 860. Typically rear axle ratings on a srw are limited by the lack of 2 more tires. Actual axle is probably good for 8k
See em going down the road on srw trucks every day. Mine included.
Beings you have a long bed, you'll get a fair amount of weight xfer to the front wheels. On my short bed, cg of the 860 is just a few inches behind the rear axle centerline.
You have plenty of truck for that camper. May need a little help on the rear suspension but nothing elaborate.
