I think they are putting longer springs on these trucks so they will ride better when they are empty and compress more when loaded. If that is true the ride height when loaded wouldn't be the 4 inches that difference measured between the identical 2016 and the 2017 F250 long bed crew cabs. Part of that 4 inches is the extra 1 inch in the bed depth which we can't do anything about.

Good observation. My point in my comment above referred to the fact I have never had tired spring sag due to truck age as cited in a previous comment in this thread. On our 2015 dually, had rear end drop the first day when hooked up requiring me to install air bags.
