Since your 2018 Ford F-450 has a long bed and a truck bed camper, I recommend adding suspension enhancement to assist with the overall ride comfort. The best option for you is the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F42ZR which gives you the adjustability to suite your desires and helps with load leveling as well.

I recommend adding the Air Lift Air Shock Controller Compressor System for Air Shock Absorbers - 160 psi # AL25804 to give you adjustability at any time to allow you the most comfortable ride and the ability to monitor your spring air pressure.
