i have a pin weigh of 3,000lbs with a 2020 f-250 and 5,000 lb air bags. (only need air bags when you go over bridges to smooth out the rocking....i set at 40lbs )
I also have the trailer package which gives the 3.55 axle and the same axle
( dana-275) and springs as the ford f-350.
the tires are your weakest link as they only handle 3640lbs of weight each
I had only a 100-150 lb lea way with these tires. And if you hit a few bumps the 3000 lbs can become 3500 for a few seconds.
I solved this by getting rid of my NEW Goodyear wranglers (came with truck) and going to
Yokohamas geolander that are rated at 4080 lbs each.
This gives me a 880 lb lea way in weight. And they are a quiet ride on the highway.
of course my truck is a diesel. Don't even consider gas...you will be one sorry puppy.
I cruse at 65 mph at about 1500 rpm. and power to spare going up hills...
