Regarding snow plow prep package, what also comes with this package is the fact that if you use a snow plow you will be covered under warranty if something happens to the truck. If you have a big plow without the snow plow prep package and lets say something bends or breaks on the truck (especially the front) Ford can deny the warranty claim.

As I mentioned above I have been debating the Plow Prep but have been hesitant because my wife has had Spinal Fusion and is sensitive to constant jarring so I was concerned about the stiffness of the ride with the max springs. I do not have a slide in camper, but thought that the mid weight springs in the Camper Package would be nice compromise for capability and ride and the rear Aux Leaf spring would be nice for towing a gooseneck to reduce squat.

The only question I have to get answered yet is if I order the Camper Package will it prevent me from getting the Gooseneck Prep package? If they can't be ordered together I will probably just order the Heavy Service Front Suspension package which also comes with the mid weight front springs.

Thanks again for your reply.

The best thing to help with ride quality will be longer wheelbase and some weight in the bed. If you want to throw some softer shocks or air bags on, that's an option.

Also, the camper package is 100% fine with 5th wheel prep - I have that on my truck too.
