Another Snow Plow Prep Question
Ok bare with me here...lol! Im looking to by a 2019 or 2020 F350 SRW Lariat. I am using it to pull my 36 foot travel trailer that has over a 1000lb tongue weight and the camper is around 10k lbs. My question is about the snow plow prep package. I know it makes the truck sit more level which I like the look of but will the truck squat or look nose high when I hook up my camper? Or should I skip it and get a truck without it? Thanks!

2018 F350 in my signature, 24 foot enclosed with equil-i-zer hitch. I have the plow prep but not the camper package.
With the 18 inch all terrain goodyears, it rides and tows like a dream. When I switched the hitch over from my 06 F250,
I had to invert the drawbar since the new F350 is about 3 inches higher in the tail than the F250 was. With the trailer
and my 11 Mustang inside, it's roughly 8500 pounds. With the weight bars on, it dropped the *** end about an inch.
Towed it from NJ to NC and back, hardly knew it was back there....

This thread might provide some answers. I was asking questions about the package before buying.

The Plow Prep springs are the same for gas or diesel with regards to WB, on a CCLB gasser they are 5990, same as a CCLB diesel.

From my reading diesel and gas respond to the stiffer springs differently.
Running heavy service springs on my truck and i measured it 1/2 inch higher than a stock truck at the dealer with same engine and tires.
Rides just fine and that is truely tall enough and fits my 295/65/20 great. But the diesel in my truck supposedly is smoother than a gasser because of the weight...
I’d also consider the 1 inch BDS lift and stock springs. Probably the best way to go on a gasser.
