Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement System for Occasional Towing with 2020 Ford F-150

Question

Question:

I'm looking for your recommendation. I don't do much towing but it seems every time I carry a load, my truck is bottoming out. I'm looking for a simple yet effective solution for the rear suspension. Do you have something for my truck? It's a 2020 Ford F150 4WD.

Since you're not planning on towing all the time, I recommend going with the Timbren Rear Jounce-Style Springs # TFR1504E because they install very easily and the system is basically maintenance free. Since there are no air bags to fill, there are no lines to run and no extra parts, like a compressor, to possibly buy. This system has a capacity of 6,000 lbs and will do a great job at cushioning your ride by absorbing road shock and preventing your 2020 Ford F-150 from bottoming out.
