Yes on plowing. The camper package will give me the heavier front springs.

Camper front springs aren't as heavy as the snow plow front springs

Thank you for the info. I was looking at this chart, I took it that they would be the same. Now I'll have to look at a new game plan.

I have the Snow Plow package on my 2011; yes the front end sits higher; the springs are 6000# and very stiff with nothing on the front end. I believe the camper package springs are like #5200 or #5600.

Better verify that - I thought the camper package was just the rear springs and addition of a rear sway bar. You can order Camper or Snow Plow Pack or a third option which is the combo Camper/Snow Plow.

The build site will not allow me to order the Snow/Camper pkg with the 3.55 eLock.

In the chart the Supercab 4X4 164.2 with 6.7L has the Heavy Duty, Snowplow and Camper all at 6000.

Good point, I guess I tend to follow the 6.2 line out of habit.

Doesn't matter about the alternator because I'll be ordering the dual extra heavy duty alternator package anyways.
If you do the build and price on the Ford website it doesn't allow that combo but I had the dealer put the snow plow/camper package with the 3.55 elock on my F350 CC Lariat SB 6.7 SRW 4x4 order and it went through fine.

I plan to purchase a plow. So I just purchase the plow thru the dealer as an upfit when I purchase the truck and show them my business license?

This is correct. Ford's build and price has been wrong about being able to order both since 1999. My last two trucks were ordered with both.
