When I had the current camper on my '95 F250 I used firestone airbags and overload springs for the rear for my truck. It worked well but hey I wanted a crew cab and I found one that's basically flawless with half the miles of my F250 and I just love this body style.

Suspension-wise my F350 is totally stock except for the 285x75xR16 Load Range E tires and wheels made to handle the heavier load in back. MY F350 carriers the load better than my F250 did with the airbags. I have stock springs and factory stock overload springs in the rear of the F350. Would a dually do even better? I'm sure it might but I love my setup and don't like the looks of a OBS dually.
