You are correct that a level trailer will be less likely to sway and keeping your hitched trailer level will enable a weight distribution (WD) system to function at its best. It is perfectly okay for a hitch ball to be an inch or so higher than the coupler on the level trailer since a little bit of normal squat will even things out but if your trailer is tipped up at the tongue when it is hitched to your F-150 you'll want to select a different shank for your WD hitch that will allow the... view full answer...
The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM32156 does have a tire rated at 1,925 lbs at 60 psi. It is tire # AM10234 which I've linked for you to check out. The wheel is a lesser rated capacity of 1,870 lbs as you stated and is the Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel - 14" x 6" Rim - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized Finish # AM20354.

The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution Item # FA94-00-1033 only comes with one set of bars. If your bars say 800lbs then I would go by the bars. If you plan on carrying more than the 800lbs on your 2017 F-150 you can always add higher rated spring bars like Item # FA94-02-1099 which have a 1000lb tongue capacity. Keep in mind the F-150 max towing capacity is under 12000lbs so you want to make sure you do not exceed the truck maximum towing capacity and payload. view full answer...
The CargoSmart Standard Track Bungee Straps part # 3481712 are only designed to secure small items inside a trailer therefore, they don't have the max break strength or working load limit (WILL) rating that you are after as the manufacturer simply does not test for this. However, I can tell you that anytime you are using a set of e-tracks, the weight capacity of the tie-down will be limited by how the track itself is mounted. If you needed to secure heavier items on the e-tracks you would... view full answer...

I spoke to my contact at Tekonsha and he informed me that the P3 hasn't had any major overhauls since it's development. All versions of it have the same 3 axis accelerometer.
You may be thinking of the P2 # 90885 that did get updated so that it's mounting range was increased.
Your P3 has the full mounting range that they all have. view full answer...
When you use an over under kit like the part # K71-385-00 that you referenced you will gain the diameter of your axle, the thickness of your spring seat, and the thickness of your leaf springs as a lift.
Also what you should consider is that when determining how much fender clearance will be left after going to a taller wheel/tire. Only half of the added diameter will be taken up in the fender well. So if you go with a 2 inch taller tire you would only lose 1 inch of fender/tire clearance. view full answer...
The majority of this Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75691 will be hidden behind the rear bumper of your 2011 F-150. It will have the same basic appearance that the factory hitch for this vehicle would have. The hitch opening will be visible, but most of the rest of the hitch will be hidden. Installation instructions are attached.

The tongue weight capacity of the B&W Tow & Stow 3-Ball Mount # BWTS10049B depends on which ball you are using. The max tongue weight capacity is 1,000 pounds which is 10 percent of the gross capacity when using the 2-5/16 inch ball.
When using the 2 inch ball rated for 7,500 pounds it would be best to keep the tongue weight up 750 pounds. And for the 1-7/8 inch ball rated for 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight it is best to keep the tongue weight up to 350 pounds.

My recommendation would be the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504D like you were already thinking. These heavy duty rubber jounce-style springs work independently to support off center loads on the rear of your vehicle and become more stiff the more weight is added. This will definitely help support your

From my research regardless of how your truck is equipped you should have no problem meeting the 5,000 pound minimum because the lowest rated F-150 from 2017 has a towing capacity of 7,600 pounds. The exact capacity of your F-150 depnds on some other factors like the engine size and whether your truck is 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive. Double check your owner's manual but I'd be very surprised if you're under 5,000 pounds.
If your truck isn't already equipped to tow a trailer we have everything... view full answer...
I went out to the warehouse to measure the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver XD, Class V # C15300 and found that the measurement from the top of the mounting bracket to the top of the hitch cross tube/receiver measured 6-1/4 inches.
From the bottom of the mounting bracket to the top of the cross tube measured 5-5/8 inches.
From the top of the mounting bracket to the bottom of the cross tube would measure approximately 8-1/2 inches.

Great question! The GVWR of 7,000 lbs is the max your 2018 Ford F-150 can weigh when it comes to the vehicle weight, plus passengers, plus cargo. For towing a trailer we are needing to find the GCWR instead, which is the max combined weight rating of both the truck, passengers, cargo, and anything for the trailer.
According to the 2018 Ford Towing Guide it looks like all 2018 F-150s with the 3.5 V6 have a high enough trailer weight rating for this to be safe, unless you have the 4.10... view full answer...
