Auto levellers are absolutely amazing, used them for 3 years on our Montana 3660 RL and never had any issues. As for your tow capacity, a quick check of the 2008 Specs for the F250 6.4L diesel SRW indicates a max tow weight of 12,500. If you are already at a dry weight of 11,100 it leaves you with 1400 lbs of "cargo" you can add to your trailer. That 1400 can be used up pretty quick if your not careful. Propane, water, waste tanks, food, etc, etc. The Engine is very capable of towing more weight but it is the brake size and axle limitations that dictate the LEGAL spec from Ford. To add, there are other considerations that are just as important as well such as your pin weight and overall gross vehicle weight limitations. You can find the Gross vehicle weight ratio (GVWR) door pillar on the driver side. You should also find your Gross Combined Weight ratio (GCWR) in your owners manual. Once you have those figures from the factory sticker you should then go to a weigh station with your normal load and verify tow vehicle front axle weight, tow vehicle rear axle weight and trailer axles weight. Front + Rear will give you your actual GVWR. Front + Rear + Trailer will give you your GCWR. This is the only true way to verify if you are loaded correctly and within legal limits. Opinions are fine but you should verify for yourself. This way you would be confident in your load and sleep better at night. If you have any other questions to assist you in determining your set-up or future set-up just post again. I am new in here so ill check back again soon.
