Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-150 Towing Trailer
Question:
What other option to beef up rear suspension on 2017 F150 that already has air bags? Air bags just seem to help level out, but not controlled weight that good. Towing 30 foot toy hauler. Also would sway bars help stabilize trailer and body sway? I already have a weight distribution hitch with sway technology. Thanks

Sounds like you may be over the towing capacity of your 2017 Ford F-150 if air bags and a weight distribution system aren't cutting it for you. Before you proceed you should verify that you are within the capacities of the truck.
For what you're looking for I would go with the RoadActive Suspension kit # RAS3611-B. We had a guy come back with a truck just like yours who installed this kit and reported that it worked well on his truck with a weight distribution system. I attached a picture that shows his comments.
