Since you'd be carrying more weight than me, I'd go at least F350. Good Luck.

And yes, it squats down quite a bit from the rear but that's cuz it's got a minor lift on it. Sit's completely level with no weight on it. No biggy.

Here's the first comprehensive test and comparison. This is being discussed in another thread.
