Best Suspension Enhancement System for a 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a Lance 825 Camper
Question:
Vehicle is 2015 Ford F-250 SRW 4x4 with 156 inch WB. It has 3.55 electronic locking axle, heavy duty service suspension, and 20 inch wheels. It doesnt have the camper option. Plan to purchase a Lance 825 camper with dry weight of 1837. My maximum camper cargo weight is 1797. Im looking to upgrade my suspension. Ive reviewed Air Lift Load Lifters. Torklift StableLoad and Firestone Air-Rite. Note the truck bed has an installed aftermarket BandW gooseneck ball hitch. My goal is to reduce roll and sway. I live nearTyler Texas, but am in Dallas often, and would like a recommendation for an installer. Than you in advance.

Out of the choices that you listed I recommend going with the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2597 for your 2015 Ford F-250. These have a weight capacity of 5,000 lbs, are made in the USA, and are compatible with the B&W Gooseneck Hitch # BWGNRK1111 that you have currently installed.
If your F-250 is the short bed with the diesel engine that has an exhaust sensor located on the passenger side frame rail where the upper bracket mounts for this kit then you need the relocation bracket # F5722. I also recommend installing an air compressor kit like the Air Command I # F2158 so you can inflate your air bags without having to locate an air compressor to do so.
Please note that any suspension enhancement system will not increase the weight capacity of your vehicle. They are designed to support a suspension system that is in good-working order.
I have linked some videos for you to check out as well.
