Recommended SumoSprings for a 2015 Ford F-150 with 800 Lb Load

Question

Question:

I have a 2015 F150 2WD crew cab pickup truck. I tow a 25foot 4,000 lbs travel trailer with a tongue weight of 500 lbs. The bed of the truck has about 300 lbs of gear in it when towing the trailer. Would the SSR 116 47 be better to install than the SSR 116 40 or is this to much for what I need. Thanks

The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-116-47 is what I recommend for your 2015 Ford F-150. The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-116-40 would also work for you but you will be near the capacity of 1,000 lbs with your 800 lb setup which is why I recommend the set rated for 1,500 lbs. This will ensure that the springs offer you with the correct amount of support and comfort.

I have attached a review video for you as well.
