Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2016 Ford F-150 that Wont Affect Unloaded Ride Quality
Question:
I have 2016 f150 lariat ,I do not want to affect ride quality at all when not towing. I like the idea of sumo but it appears it may be a stiffer bumpier ride on potholes or speed bumps .would sit bags be a better remedy to remedy sag when towing

If you want to eliminate sag and also ensure that the unloaded ride quality is not affected then air bags are the way to go as they are the only solution that gives you a totally unaffected ride quality when not inflated.
For that I recommend the Firestone kit part # F2582 which is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ford F-150 and has the highest quality air bags of the kits we offer. I attached an install video for more info as well.
For a compressor kit to make inflating and maintaining the air bags easy we have the Firestone kit part # F2097 which will work great. It has a heavier duty compressor which means the bags will inflate quicker. On the in-cab gauge is the buttons for inflating and deflating the bags.
