For your 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor that has the factory upgraded (for the year 2019) Fox active shocks we have suspension enhancement kits that will help reduce sag when towing like the RoadActive Suspension Kit part # RAS3611 that you referenced. I really like this kit as it gives you additional support like you are wanting to reduce sag, reduces quite a bit of sway, and also is adjustable unlike most of the other options so you can tailor exactly how much additional support you need/want.

I attached a review video for this kit for you to check out as well.
