Took the truck down to the scales.
2001 F350 CC 2WD DRW 7.3, 3/4 tank fuel w/driver.
2019 Bigfoot 10.4, generator, battery, no water, no rear step, nothing else.
Steer axle 4240
Drive axle 7160
Total wt. 11,400
Ended up with adding one of the Hellwig overload springs, they are sold in pairs for each side, tried without any and both, one seems to be the compromise. So OEM single leaf overload plus one Hellwig overload spring per side plus the 4400# main spring pack.
Height loaded is 11'6".
