does camper package have upgraded rear springs?

Does the camper package come with upgraded rear leaf springs as well as the upgraded coil spring on the front? If not, why? I would think that with the weight of a slide-in camper on the rear leaf springs this would need to be upgraded to prevent the truck from sagging in the rear. Am I wrong?

Thanks.

Answer is no, except on an F250 it includes the overload spring. The springs are more than rated for the axle, tires, or wheels. The springs aren't the weak link.
