I really like the 20"s and am not planning on changing them. I think I am going to make that change. I'm pretty sure the F350 will tow whatever I put behind her.

 

I think camper pkg gets you the heavier duty coils up front. So it may be slightly harsher, I have the camper p, but haven't been in a non-camper pkg truck so dunno it makes that big of a difference...

The rear overloads aren't that great, takes a bit of weight (sag) before the overloads kick in, think bags would be better....

 

Bags may be the better option for the future for sure. I may just do the 20" then.

Headed out here shortly.

 

I have the camper and the 18", but I don't share your love for the 20"... If I really wanted 20", then I order with the 20" and put the sway bar on later. Aftermarket ones are supposedly better than Factory anyways... Certainly is a WHOLE lot cheaper to add a swaybar than to buy 20".

Now if you need two sets of rims for summer/winter driving then it is a different ball game. I also like the 11,500 GVW rating with the camper, so when I do load down I am not as close to being "overloaded" by the sticker...

 

Yes, camper package gets you the highest rated springs up front, but a lot of times the other options you pick get you those anyways. Plus, it gets you the HD alternator... Of course you can always upgrade to dual alts.

Most of the time I am running around WITHOUT a trailer hooked up and I am mostly a pavement truck since there are no dirt roads around here anyways.

 

Agreed, go with the 20's

 

Just got back from the dealer and completed the build. I went with the 20's after a few quick phone calls of reassurance from buddies in Canada (thanks Darren) and Michigan (he isn't on here). With the 20's, I broke 70K list; but the dealer is giving me a deal so I am well under.

6-8 weeks timeline since they have a KR allocation. I will continue to update as the process goes.

 

Dang. Broke $70k...

Welp, you can't say you didn't get EXACTLY what you wanted, which is good.

 

Very true. I actually had a friend from MI text me on the way and then call and try to talk me out of the order He was trying to get me to order one of the new eco-diesel Ram's. I said, not a chance.

 

I can't believe the 'man step' is a $375 option. I loved it though on my 2011 and will be glad to have it back. I am not getting any younger you know

 

I can't believe how much it costs to bring a truck over the border, lol. My ol '11 was more then your '15 in our goofy canuck dollars. Geeze...

Man step is must have, could do without the pole though, lol

Congrats on the order

 

Thanks man. I love the man step. Even the pole is helpful at times. My Bass Cat Cougar FTD (boat) even has a pole and man step to get to the bow easier from the trailer. The fishing guys call it a stripper pole LOL.

I'm also updating pics of the order here in a few to show the correct rims.

 

Build pics updated from Ford site (screen shots). Note the Caribou in the wheels instead of the gold (adobe) from previous versions.

 

Stripper pole is what we call the pole on my man step...even the wife calls it that. Congrats on the truck!

 

A stripper pole to get into my boat would be very useful!

I looked at my window sticker out my own curiosity, paid 300 for my step, inflation is a sob.
