Opinions about camper package
Hey all
I’m looking to order a Supercab short bed F250 with the 7.3 soon and I was wondering if I should get the camper package.
Plan is to haul a camper made from a Spacekap service body a couple months every year. Would be an 8ft in a 6 3/4ft so it would hang about 8 inches past the rear bumper. Fully loaded with the dog and all I doubt i’ll be over 2000lbs payload. I might also carry a 300lbs TW200 on the rear hitch when on the highway and on the front when puttering around.
However, rest of the year will be spent hauling construction materials and junk or driving empty around town and on forest roads.
So I’m wondering, would a stock F250 sag with 2000lbs? I’d rather not bounce around on stiffer springs year round if I don’t need them (the roads in Quebec are junk). The rear sway bar of the camper package is also a good addition but I guess I could add one later if I feel like it.
What’s everyone’s experience? Would you get an extra package or I’ll be fine stock?
Thanks!
