Recommended Suspensin Enhancement For 2016 Ford F-150 Towing A Trailer And Dirt Bikes In Bed
Question:
Ive got a 2016 f150. I tow a 17foot camper with 400 pounds tongue weight. The truck does fine with just the camper but once I put 2 dirt bikes in the bed it really squats down and can be a lot to handle at hwy speeds i have a weight distribution hitch. Would an add a leaf help settle the front end down to make driving easier. I do haul stuff more then nomal but it is a daily driver. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Since you said the rear of your F-150 sags when the dirt bikes are in the bed I recommend using a Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TFR1502D if you have a 2-wheel drive truck with stock height.
This system does not affect the ride of your truck when you are not towing but as more weight is added helps to cushion the load and provide additional support. No drilling is required for installation and it has a capacity of 6,000-lbs. This will not increase the weight capacity of your truck.
If you have a 4-wheel truck and it has stock height I recommend part # TFRTT1502D.
