Do you have a rear sway bar? If so, you have the camper package.

Maybe someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe in 05 all F-350s had the overload springs. The camper package on F-250s was the overload springs and rear sway bar, on F-350s it was just the sway bar since they already have the overloads.

My 05 F-350 has both the camper package and the snow plow package, which is heavier front springs.

I ordered the camper package on my '05. It had the auxiliary / overload springs on the back and the sway bar. It also had the camper certification paper in the glovebox.

Sorry but I traded the truck about two months ago or I'd snap a pic for you.

Here is a Google image. This is a Hellwig but you get the idea.



Also, I call it a "sway bar" but Ford's literature referred to it as a "stabilizer bar", IIRC.
