On a 350, I think the only thing you would get is the rear anti-roll bar.
A 250 gets higher front spring rate, rear overloads, and anti-roll bar.
I believe the 350 already has the front springs and overloads.

Good for you to have scaled the camper and know what it truly weighs. Nice rig. Good luck with the truck when it arrives. At that camper weight, with a Super Cab XL, I think from my own TC experience with a SC XL (LB dually) you should be in the ballpark.

That camper wouldn't be in my driveway if you didn't send me the link to it about 2 and 1/2 months ago...LOL !
Just a shame I have to replace a perfectly good truck just to haul it.
Thanks Again

Good thread, I just bought a F250 Lariat with the camper package, but do not have any paperwork to confirm, other than the window sicker. Is the camper package tied to the VIN or did my dealer neglect to give me the cert.?

Sorry, i had meant to say decent weighted, as in large. While at the dealer this weekend guy came in with a 450 dually with a slide in. 3 slides. Things was amazing.
Thats what I had in my head.
Nice camper!

My wife loves to camp ...I don't at all ...I use the camper as lodging for events I go to (about 8 a year) with my antique truck. Plus about 4 camping trips a year to keep her happy.
I bought my first TC because the one event I go to rooms start at 189.00 a night (and those places are "traps") and 20 miles away from the venue.
Ill know when I get the truck in a couple more weeks if I made the right choices.

The cert used to be a sticker inside the glove compartment. I believe it's now a sheet of paper that should have also been in your glove compartment or owners manual bundle.

You are right about that but I would say that there is also benefit if you are pulling a 5th wheel; especially on a 250. I added an anti-roll bar to my current truck and pulling a 5er became a much better experience.

Absolutely. ON the 250 both the sway bar and overloads are a welcome addition to 5th wheel towing...
