Recommended RoadActive Suspension On 2014 Ford F-150 For Travel Trailer w/Weight Distribution
Question:
While pulling my 30ft Jayco travel trailer, my 2014 F150 STX regularly bounces/porpoises even with weight distribution hitch with dual sway control bars. Will Roadmaster Active Suspension work with the weight distribution hitch and will it help or correct the porpoising? It should be noted that the set up does not always porpoise, just on newer concrete highways. Blacktop roadways it drives smooth.

Expert Reply:
On your 2014 Ford F-150 STX, I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS3611-Y if you have a 4WD truck or the # RAS3611 if you have a 2WD truck. This system easily installs over your leaf springs to improve the stability and control of your factory suspension. The mechanically active system eliminates porpoising caused by wheel hop.
This adds critial strength (2,000 lb capacity) to your leaf springs without compromising ride quality. It instantly absorbs and disperses load force energy to give your truck greater balance, traction, stability, and control. Once installed, the RAS needs no adjustments or maintenance. This is an excellent system for your application.
