Website is broken. Add the heavy duty front end and it should appear. Or change the axle ratio, such as 3.55 E Lock and it will tell you to add the HD Front end, then go back up and add the camper pkg. Poor web design.

ok, thanks. i'll try that. I noticed building a Lariat, if I went back up to equipment after all the build was done, the camper option would show up

The Platinum comes with 20" wheels and the camper package can't be selected on any trim level with 20" wheels. That's the conflict and the reason you can't get it on a Platinum.

Yes, Ken that is quite true. 
On that front though, the camper package on a DRW is useless as they already come with the sway bar. If you want to up the front springs to be upped on a 350 DRW you'd be better off with the plow prep or HD suspension for less money. One the 450, your already maxed out in the front... Well, according to Bill, the plow prep does come with different front springs but with the same rating so....

Another option is to order the plow prep package and have the dealer order a factory sway bar separately or better than that , get a Hellwig Bigwig bar which is more substantial. On the older trucks it is a pain to install because of the fuel/def tank right in the way of 1 bolt, but it is not an impossible task.
I just looked at some different tires to have swapped out at the dealer (due to the delay they are very happy to work an equitable swap) and and the Michelin Defender M+S LT295 70R 18's are 4080 lb single rated. The LT 295 65R 20's are the same rating which is around 600 lbs per tire more than the stock tires. Rodney, what would the sticker be with these??

I'm ordering a King Ranch 350 CC SRW next week with chrome 20 inch wheels because I want chrome bumpers and the 7230 rear GAWR. I wanted the camper package, but you cannot get with 20's. So I am going to order the heavy service front suspension package and add swaybar when it comes in, so this will get me the camper package with 20's.

I'm doing the same on my Lariat. I like the 20's, need the plow prep, so I'll order with no camper package and add the bar. It's not expensive at all. On the past generation, one of the link bolts required you to loosen and shift the DEF tank to get access. Not sure if will be the same on the 17's but I'm sure we can figure it!

I have always had camper package on my last three super duty's, I think it makes a big difference when towing my 20 foot gooseneck livestock trailer loaded with cattle moving and shifting around. Just seems to make it more stable, have rode in trucks without package and there was a noticeable difference. I emailed hellwig last week, they said they had swaybar now for 2017, so hopefully the install will go without issues.
