Camper package effect height.

Howdy
In the process of gathering info to order a 2018 F250 Superduty, to pull our new 5th wheel.. Does the camper package with it's rear spring pack raise the truck from it's advertized 81.5" for 4wdcc, sb.. ? The trailer will have a 1400lb minimum pin weight, so I'm thinking the camper package will be needed.

It does not effect ride height. And yes get it. As it adds an auxiliary helper spring which will hit sooner and take the stress off your main springs a little. Plus it adds a rear sway bar and heavier front springs. So get it you will be happy you did.

18" wheels

Just be aware you can't get the camper package and 20" wheels it must be 18's. I ordered snow plow prep package and put Helwig sway bar on my 350 KR With 20's.

Does the snow plow prep package include front and rear springs? I haven't seen a clear explanation, but I though the snow plow pkg only included the front springs.

That is why I got the 350 this time instead of a 250. Snow plow prep gets heavier front springs, 350 gets you the heavier rear springs and helwig gives you the rear sway bar.
