I am picking up my 368RD Tomorrow from the dealer. I am concerned of my bed clearance. My truck is an F350 Crew Cab 4X4. I just had to install new leaf springs as I had a broken spring. The highest point of my truck is now the tailgate sitting between 59 and 60". I ordered my springs from SD Truck springs and went with the heavy duty springs. My old springs were whooped plus my main leaf was broken on my drivers side so I do not know if my truck set low because of this. I think they told me my spring rate was 1600 LBS per spring. I am really concerned that the truck will not squat at all and 60" seems to be very high. I see posts with 58" bed height but their trucks most likely have stock springs. I ordered the heavy duty springs only because of lead time. They were cheaper and also in stock. The other springs were three weeks out.
Anybody out there have 60" bed height, or experience with the SD springs.
I am a little nervous as I am going through the orientation tomorrow and concerned of my seemingly high truck. I am hoping I can simply adjust the trailer to be nose high. But how high is too high? I am only towing 80 miles to my seasonal camp site on the Susquehanna. I do not have too much concern getting the trailer into my site or into the campground. I can have the owner of the campground put the trailer on my lot with his backhoe.
I was told you need to be able to slip a dollar bill between the bed rails and the trailer nose. That's only 2-3/4" so it seems tight spaced to me.
