Question:

I'm looking for some springs or some type of way to help reduce the bit of sway I get when towing, and I also want a bit of added support just for the rear of my 2020 Ford F-150.

The best suspension enhancement kit for your 2020 Ford F-150 that is going to help reduce body roll and sway as well as give your truck the added support it needs is the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit.

The reason this kit is superior to the rest is because it is what is known as an "active" system, which means that it is constantly reinforcing your F-150's original leaf spring suspension. Because of where it installs (see accompanying photo) the force normally put on your F-150's current springs when towing or or when making a tight turn gets transferred to the RAS Enhancement Kit, allowing the factory leaf springs to work normally.

The RAS Enhancement Kit will work to keep your F-150 level and reduce body roll and sway because it absorbs the weight and allows your front wheels to stay completely on the ground, which means you get better traction and handling.

This kit is an easy, bolt-on installation, and the right one to put on your 2020 Ford F-150 will simply depend on if the truck is a 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive:

- 2-Wheel Drive 2020 Ford F-150: RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-B

- 4-Wheel Drive 2020 Ford F-150: RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-Y

I have added a link to a video review of this kit for you to check out as well.
