Do I have the camper package?

2004 F250 Super Duty 6.0D short bed. Looking at the springs, there is one on the bottom, a stack of 4, then a single flying above that. Is that a factory helper spring? The only other clue I see is that the rear window is a slider. Looks like with Lance's smallest- the 650, I'll exceed the GVWR by 500lbs fully loaded, BTW.

Is there a rear stabilizer bar? If so, then you probably have the optional camper package.

If not, then hmmm...

HTH,

Agree the most obvious indicator would be the rear stabilizer. I doubt you have a camper package if you do not have the stabilizer, although that does not mean you can't add a stabilizer or that you can not haul a truck camper.

but to have the camper package you must have the Rear anti-sway bar.....

Yes, I have the sway bar too so I'll try Lance's lightest shortbed camper. Thanks for the help!
