Best Rear Suspension Upgrade for the 2020 Ford Raptor

Question:

I am considering purchasing either the timbren or the sumo rubber springs to aid in my towing and or cab over camper hauling. My boat weighs about 7000 lb and sinks the back end of the truck when I strap it on. On other occasions I will be putting a 2000lb lance 650 cab over camper in the bed which I have not tried yet. I do not plan on towing the boat with the camper on as of yet. Any idea of the best product for me. Looks like the timbren is 2400# capacity and the timbren is either 1000# or 1500#. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I really like the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle part # SS52GR for this situation. They engage much more smoothly than the Timbrens part # TFR150RB do. The overall user experience is going to be better for you since you won't feel them engage which is common on the Timbrens. The 1500 lb. capacity is at 50% compression so at about mid stroke the more they get compressed the more weight they take up.

Please keep in mind this doesn't raise your vehicles towing capabilities they are just designed to help take some of the wear and tear off of your suspension and help keep the F-150 level. With that in mind don't exceed what it says in your manual as far as your tow ratings are concerned
