I have attached a link to the part of our website that lists the current deals going on. You can also go to the Etrailer website and click on the "deals" tab on the right side. We do not currently have a deals category that is vehicle specific.

I do have a solution for you, however, the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Single Convoluted - Rear Axle # F2565 that you mentioned is not a fit for your 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor. If you had your mind set on air suspension, you can go with Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Springs w/ Internal Bumpers - Stainless Steel - Rear Axle # AL98UV and Air Lift Load Controller Compressor System for Air Helper Springs- Heavy Duty - Single Path # AL25854 for the compressor system. This will work well with your truck and will allow you to change the suspension support/stiffness as you add weight to the back of your truck While air suspension is a great option, I highly recommend going with jounce springs instead. The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SS52GR will be only a fraction of the price and will help out greatly with supporting extra weight in the back of your Raptor. Not only are these cheaper, they are essentially maintenance-free. This setup will not affect your unloaded ride quality as it only comes into play when excess weight is added. This will not replace your factory suspension but simply aid in supporting weight; they are bolted on in place of the factory bump stops and will greatly extend the life of your suspension. I have attached demonstration videos for these products.

At this time (February 2022) we have Timbren suspension kits that fit your 2022 Ford F-150 Raptor like the part #TABSFR150RB but we do not have any air bag kits. I would assume something will come out eventually but we don't have a lead time.

For your 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor towing a 6000lb boat I recommend using the RoadActive Suspension Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit #RAS3611 you purchased as it will be the best at preventing sag like you are experiencing, but will also eliminate axle wrap…

I may have another option available for you, but I spoke with RoadActive Suspension and their Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit #RAS2691 cannot be used with Deaver springs. They said they had tried to get them to work in the past, but they have…
