To address the squatting in your lifted 2005 Ford F-150, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88200 and some lift spacers. This system has a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity and is compatible with in bed hitches.
To determine which spacer you need you will need to take a measurement under your truck. If you have a true 6" lift in the rear of your Ford you will need the 6" Lift item # AL52460 or the Angled 6" Lift item # AL79GV.
If you do not have a full 6" lift in the rear you will only need the 4" Lift item # AL52440 or the Angled 4" Lift item # AL49GV.
I recommend adding the Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs item # AL25856. This onboard dual path compressor system is designed to allow you to adjust your PSI from the comfort of your cab. The Dual path function gives you the ability to adjust the PSI in the bags individually to help you compensate for off center loads.
