Standard or Heavy Duty RoadActive Suspension for 2020 Ford F-150 With 2-Wheel Drive

Question:

Hey there! I have a 2020 Ford F-150 two-wheel drive and am wanting the Roadmaster Active Suspension as I have heard great things. But I see there is a standard duty option RAS3611-B and heavy duty option RAS94FR. How do I know which kit I should get for my truck? Thanks!

That's a good question and the right RoadActive Suspension Kit for your 2020 Ford F-150 with two-wheel drive really comes down to just two things: the amount of squat you are experiencing and if you are towing, the amount of tongue weight on the back of your truck. So the correct kit will depend on the following:

- Maximum of 2 to 3 Inches of Squat: Standard Duty RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-B

- More Than 2 to 3 Inches of Squat And/Or 600 lbs or More of Tongue Weight: Heavy Duty RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS94FR

This really all comes down to the amount your F-150 is sagging at the rear of the truck, or if you are towing a pretty heavy load. The difference is the spring in the HD version has more tension to handle a more extensive amount of weight that causes your truck to squat, which is why it is the best option for more pronounced sag.

The RAS is a really smart choice for your F-150 because it will help your truck level out while also improving its stability and handling because it allows your front wheels to stay completely on the ground instead of being slightly raised under the weight of heavy cargo.
