F350 SRW with a Bigfoot 3000 Series Camper - Tires & Sway
Hey everyone! I'm a fairly new Owner of a 2012 F350 crew cab 8 ft box and a 2002 Bigfoot 3000 Series truck camper. Based on the research I've done, I know I'm pushing (past) the limits of this truck, which has a payload sticker rating of 1722 kg. I'm not planning on doing anything too crazy in terms of off-road, etc. Getting a dually is also not an option for me currently. Truck is equipped with LT275/70R18E 125/122Q and air bags. I have just taken it on 50% loaded test rides/short trips so far and it held up pretty well. Knowing the limits are being pushed here though, I want to put the truck in the best position possible to handle the load and sway before I get too carried away. I intend to do what I can for camper weight loss/control. Is there any advantage to changing the tires to something wider or F rating? Axle rating appears to be limiting factor already, assuming I'm checking this all correctly.. Anyone have similar experiences? What upgrades have added the most value? Tires? Sway bar? Leaf springs?
