Verle, I didn't catch what year F350 DRW you have. But my '06 squatted almost 5 inches with the Monty hooked up and loaded for a long weekend. I complained to the dealer that my last F350 SRW only squatted 2 inches with the same trailer. I was told Ford changed the springs to be more of a progressive type but still have the same weight capacity. Upon arguing with the dealer about purchasing a DRW to hold up the extra tongue weight of the 3685FL I was told to go to a suspension shop in Omaha and Ford would pick up the bill to have another leaf or two added to hold up the weight. I had one extra leaf added that was rated at 2200 pounds per pair and have been very happy since. Sure it stiffened up the overall ride empty a little bit. But hey if I wanted a smooth ride I would by a fold down camper and a half ton p-up. I suggest talking to your dealer if you have a '06 and see if Ford will foot the bill for some extra springs.
