I recommend going with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Item # TFR250SDF for your 2008 Ford F-250. These are designed to support the weight in the back of the truck. Since your hauling a 5th wheel and the hitch weight is only 1430lbs the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System
Item # TFR350SDF would be overkill.
