I have not loaded the camper yet as I am waiting on torqlift frame mounts which should be here this week.
I carry ~4000lbs (camper+gear) on a 2017 F250. (SC, 4x4, 6.7L, Lariat)
While the loaded weight was within the stock tires maximum load ratings (3450x2), the sway driving it nearly made me sea sick.
Since I had installed Toyo M608z's 265/70 19.5" tires and Vision Heavy hauler 81 rims on the 1997 F250 the new 2017 was replacing, it was a no brainer to put them on the 2017 F250 Ford. This fixed the sway.
The rear end sag while loaded ready for camping made my head lights aim higher than on coming traffic liked so I had airbags installed. A mere 20PSI in ether side allows the headlights point where they should.
YMMV
