very proud of my truck pulled my 10,000lb camper up the mtns tdy power wise it was great braken was scary but last time i pulled it my truck wasnt as squated im guessin cause i didnt have my torsion bars cranked then so does anybody know the stock setting
for em

 

You just dangerously overloaded your truck, it is a very bad idea, especially in mountains. I sincerly hope you had a proper brake controller on the truck too, otherwise you are lucky just to be alive.

 

its got the right equipment and this truck has pulled it for 13yrs and have had no probs but wat is the stock torsion bar specs

 

Unless your "right equipment" includes a bigger engine, transmission, axle etc, you are wrong. The absolute maximum that your truck could be rated for is 7,700lbs, with the reccomended towing around 3,000. You have overloaded your truck by 2,300lbs more than it should have ever been expected to pull.

No idea on stock specs, every truck is different. You should have paid attention when you cranked them.

 

the f250's have the 5.4l like my truck they pull it and like i said its been pulled for 13yrs and have never had one problem

 

and btw my manual says 8400lbs cause i got 3.73's and the 5.4l

 

Just because you've done it before doesn't make it safe or a good idea. I was going of of the 1999 information, you are correct, your truck is rated up to 8,400 with stock tires. You have overloaded your vehicle by at least 1,600lbs. Just because the same motor is used in a different truck, doesn't mean yours has the same capacities.

 

The f250's also have 3/4 ton suspension, bigger brakes along with a few other things that I'm missing.

 

Do you honestly think that turning up your FRONT suspension helped your rear suspension from squatting when you hooked your trailer up?!
Ha ha ha!

 

I do a lot of towing for work. The truck I use is a 00 f450 with the 7.3. Has a flatbed with toolboxes. The truck fully unloaded is 10k lbs. I've put 2 full pallets of cement and bentonite on the bed (3.5k lbs each) with a triple axle air compressor that weighed in at 16k lbs with the brake controller malfunctioning. My point is, if you know what your doing and use common sense you can tow more than rated safely.
