Art, Great idea. I too would like to consider adding some additions to the 5er that will require either an F350 or a similar upgrade. As you do this you mention that the axels are now 7000 lb. rated vice 6100 lbs. Am I correct that previously you replaced the rear axels prior to building up the springs? Did you weigh the truck to determine if the 6100 pound rear axel weight rating would handle the truck and additional weight thrown in the truck/bed, or is that the rating for the F350?? (My guess is you will want/need the 7K rating anyway). What tire rating are you considering? A final consideration, when you buy the larger wheels/tires are you thinking the speedometer may no longer read correctly for either mileage or speed? And can that be corrected easily?
