My 2017 F-250 is on 37x12.5 Wildpeaks with 18" 2023 Tremor factory take-off wheels, all stock clapped out suspension, swaybar removed, and 3/8" hub-centric wheel spacers with no rub. 37x12.5's will rub the radius arms at full lock (more at lower PSI). Wheel spacers are necessary with stock wheel...

I have an 8' Home Depot truck (Ford) aluminum bed with the fold down/removable sides if you're near Kansas City.

I have a 2017 F250 (148" WB) with original clapped out FX4 Rancho shocks (150,000 miles on them!). I think it rides slightly better without and didn't notice any significant roll issues although our Bison Overland shell isn't built out yet (probably only 1000lbs with gear). It's awaiting a set...

Ready to go kit of what your looking to do: https://www.bobilvans.co.uk/product-page/new-bobil-air-hybrid (no affiliation, just ran across it on YouTube) I'm leaning towards an Autoterm 2D + CombiBoil. @Victorian do you have any concerns with losing heat from the CombiBoil through the ducting...

I assume the 120V heating element has a standard threaded fitting and that you could swap it out for a 12V/24V DC element? It would be awesome to use a DC element as a solar dump load and as the primary heat source in the summer when you wouldn't want to run the diesel heater.

Are those 230Ah cells? What’s the capacity of your DIY battery?

Are those Morimoto headlights? If so, have you had any issues?

I happened to be at the recycling center yesterday and ran it over the scale. It weighed 7,120lbs with me (~180lbs) in it plus the aluminum cargo slide (~150lbs). So 10,000lbs GVRW - curb weight of 7,120lbs = 2,880lbs payload. 3,030lbs if you ditch the cargo slide.

@Victorian I know you were concerned about tip over risks with deeper cab over sections on empty slide-ins in the past. Any chance there will be a 2.0 with a 60" cab over? Even pushing it to 54" (full size mattress width) would be very helpful with fitting everything into the smaller slide-in...

What's your impressions of the CPT shell so far? Is that a 60" cabover? Do you have any photos of your securing method?

Awesome truck! Love utilitarian look. Be on the lookout for some tow mirrors. I think the newer 2008-2016 may fit but do your homework first. Do you have any camper interior photos. I'm working on dialing in my layout for a future 6.5' TC order that will be riding in basically the same truck.

It may be a touch lighter than I thought: 6230lbs internet curb weight + 400lbs for camper shell and bed slide = 6630lbs 10000lbs GVWR - 6630lbs curb weight guestimate = 3370lbs payload available

I haven't scaled it but payload should be somewhere around 3000lbs. I think these gas trucks come in around 7000lbs curb weight. GVWR is 10000lbs.
