Snow Plow / Camper Package

Is this option a waste for someone looking to just haul fifth wheels? Is it more for someone looking to hook a plow up the front or haul a truck camper in the bed?

I have so many questions for an order but I don't want to just waste money. Dealer's are closed today.

I will say this about my personal situation. On my previous two F-250's, I had to use air bags to help with the bouncing of my 5th wheel. But with the camper package on this truck, I have not needed the air bags. Yet anyway. I do still get some bounce, but it is not near as bad as it was on my previous two trucks, and is manageable. Again, this is just my experience, with my 5th wheel.

Certainly not a waste for your use. The camper package includes a rear sway bar & the increased spring rates provide a very stable ride towing.

Snowplow adds higher alternator ratings, Camper adds rear sway bar. Both add higher front spring rates. Both add on the auxiliary (overload) rear spring.

For the $$$$ spent, either one option package or the option "combo" package will be money well spent.

I think it gives a nice level/ lifted look if you don't mind sitting a little higher. In stock form.

I'm sold on these replies. I will definitely add that to my list of options. Hope to get to the dealership tomorrow morning.
