Towing with level 17-19 f250

Decker · Jan 8, 2022

Got a new truck last year 19 f250 leveled with 35s. I have a 29ft travel trailer 36 ft overall weight in 8800lbs dry 900lbs tongue weight. I used to pull it with my leveled 15 f150 3.5 eco and had air bags in back to level back out and a weight distribution hitch.

Im just wondering if the 19 f250 will squat any at that weight. Will I need bags?

Does anyone have pictures of towing while leveled with a travel trailer?

I towed a decent bit with a level truck 2017 F350 SRW CCLB but it was leveled through lowering. I also towed much heavier than what you are pulling and it was always on a gooser

I had Airlift 5000 bags in the rear for pics 2-4, I did not have any bags on pics 1&5. Pic 1 was about 14,500 behind me, Pic 5 was about 19k behind me.

I appreciate the response.
Man seem like this site is dead now. Few years back you could get a dozen responses in day.

Anywho, when towing the 14k in first picture how much squat you think you had 2in or so?

I’ll get airlift ultimate 5000 if need be just wondering if I have to or not.

Yeah FB killed all the forums in general. Honestly couldn't tell you although I remember it wasn't pleasant to tow with no airbags. Removing the rear 3" block took out a lot of room for the bumpstop to compress so it contacted the axle frequently towing so there was minimal room back there and it hit the stops a lot. Even being leveled, I would still advise doing bags. My new 22' F350 will be leveled in the front with an OUO 2.5 kit and I'm doing Airlift 7500 bags in the rear anyway.

I have a 19 dually. I think the spring pack is the same, except for the overload. With 900lbs tongue weight, it would squat maybe 1.5”. I run Firestone bags, so I really don't worry about the squat. It rides much better than riding on the overloads.
