Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2017 Ford F-250

Question:

I have a 2017 Ford F250 crew cab 4x4 and pull a 40foot 5th wheel, hitch weight 1980 lbs. Hooking up my 5th wheel it squats the back of my truck 2 1/2, raises the front 1/4. I am considering the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle Item # TFR250SDJ and SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # SSR-127-54. I have read that the Timbren make the ride rough, but are better support. I have read the Sumo springs Solo are a better ride, but dont support as well as the Timbren. I dont want to spend a lot of money, nor want to effect the ride quality. I would appreciate your recommendations which would be better for my application. Thank you

The best suspension enhancement kit we have for your 2017 Ford F-250 is the RoadActive Suspension Kit part # RAS3611-SHD actually. This gives you the best of all worlds in terms of suspension enhancement. It gives you the support you are wanting that's adjustable like air bag kits without the messy air pressure maintenance, but also gives you a smoother ride quality loaded and unloaded unlike the simpler setups like Timbren and SumoSprings.
