Expert Reply:
The RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS3611-Y is the correct fit for your 2016 Ford F-150 4x4. This is a mechanically active system designed to eliminate the bounce you are experiencing. It will allow adjustment for the best fit on your truck but doesn't require any additional adjustment so it doesn't need to be changed for when loaded or unloaded.
The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-117-47 are also a great option to eliminate the bounce by helping to level your load and support the weight to assist your factory suspension. These are a simple no-drill installation and also require no maintenance. There is never any adjustment necessary with this option, but it will adjust to best support your load by its design to get stronger as it compresses.
I recommend installing one of these suspension enhancement options and then adjusting your weight distribution system for best fit with the system installed. The suspension enhancement options will help absorb shock as well as assist with load weight distribution and sway. You will see a substantial improvement by controlling bounce.
